Esha Gupta recently opened up about a significant disagreement she had with director Sajid Khan while filming Humshakals. In an interview, Esha recounted an incident where Sajid verbally abused her, and how she firmly responded to his inappropriate behavior.
She revealed that the altercation nearly led her to abandon the film entirely, but a subsequent apology from the producer, and eventually from Sajid himself, convinced her to stay.
Esha Gupta detailed the heated exchange, stating, “I had a fight. Sajid Khan and I were not at all on the same page, and we ended up having a proper fight. It happened once, and after that, things were never the same. See, I don’t like people abusing me. You should always treat people the way you want them to treat you. It’s that simple. Unhone mujhe gaali di… phir maine bhi di (He abused me, and in return, I also abused him).”
She further explained her immediate reaction to the misconduct: “I walked out of the set. I went home. I didn’t stay. I had also made up my mind to exit the film. But it was the producer who apologised first, even before Sajid did.” This apology ultimately prompted Esha to reconsider her decision and continue with the project.
Well now we know what happened.
