Controversies

Her friend called the footballer a ‘gorilla’ and said that ‘evolution stopped for him.’ He added that the footballer did not change from ‘neanderthal to man.’ To which, Esha replied ‘Haha.’ However, it created a massive uproar in social media, with people trolling her for being a racist. She later deleted the post and apologised for her behaviour.
- Esha Gupta did a racy photoshoot and uploaded the photos on her Instagram account. Esha received a lot of hate comments on her pictures after that. She then in an interview with Times of India shut the haters by saying that women are blamed eternally in India whether it is rape or a girl child is born. She further added that it was her body and her photos being shot aesthetically, and she doesn’t care about what negative comment people do because she got more love that those hate comments.

She was far more dignified than U.”
