Five years and twenty films old, Esha Deol has evolved as an actress. Her relationship with her parents, Dharmendra and Hema Malini, her brothers, Sunny and Bobby Deol and her sister Ahana Deol, too has undergone a sea change. Today, Esha takes pride in admitting that in spite of being a dare-bare actress, she is still daddy's little gal!

In fact, it may come as a surprise to many that she is extremely possessive about her father. She recently admitted that she did not like dad Dharmendra's kissing scene (with Nafisa Ali) in Anurag Basu's METRO!
However, Esha is very happy that her father has found success after a long time with METRO and APNE.
