Esha Deol on link-up rumours with Ajay Devgn

When asked about the weirdest rumour she had heard about herself in the initial phase of her career, Esha said, "I was linked to a lot of my co-stars back then. Some may be true, but many were not. They were even trying to link me up with Ajay Devgn. I share a very beautiful and different bond with Ajay. It is filled with respect, love, and admiration for each other. That was so weird."

She further discussed the reason behind these rumours, saying, "There were a lot of stories cooked up. Maybe because we were doing a lot of films together at that time."

For the unversed, Ajay and Esha worked together in several films, including Yuva, Main Aisa Hi Hoon, Kaal, Insan, and Cash. The duo even reunited for a web series in 2022, titled Rudra: The Edge of Darkness. The psychological crime thriller, which also stars Rashii Khanna, Atul Kulkarni, and Ashish Vidyarthi in key roles, is available to watch on Disney+ Hotstar.
