New Delhi, Bollywood actor Esha Deol, whose last releases “Cash” and “Darling” sank without a trace at the box-office, says she has become selective about picking up projects.

“I was not very selective earlier. I have a large heart and I can’t say no to my friends.

However, with time one has to realise the importance of picking up the right kind of projects,” Esha said during a recent visit to the capital to launch The Metal 5, a new handset by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.

The actress, who made her debut with “Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe” and is the daughter of celebrated film couple Hema Malini and Dharmendra, struck fame with her performance in “Dhoom”.

She has also earned rave reviews for her performance in “No Entry” and “Ankahee”.

She says she is now looking for variation in her roles. “Now I want a director to come with a script, which can bring out the bratty quality in me on-screen. I want every time to play a different role.”

Discussing the possibility of working with mother Hema and sister Ahana, she said, “I would love to share screen space with mom. However, nothing is planned yet. I am waiting for the right script to come.”

“As far as Ahana is concerned. If she wants to cast me in her movie I will work with her.”

The actress is also a trained dancer: “I have been dancing since childhood and it is very close to my heart. Dance is a different career altogether. I do a lot of shows, like recently I performed Odissi dance at Jagannath temple. It is the spiritual side of me.”

Her upcoming projects include a comedy and film opposite Shiney Ahuja called “Hijack”.

Esha turns dad Dharmendra’s costume designer

Mumbai, Ever since Dharmendra stepped into the arc lights again, daughter Esha Deol has taken upon herself the responsibilities of his wardrobe and even gifted him a suitcase full of clothes on his birthday.

“I’ve been shopping for him all around the world for many months now, collecting the clothes that suit him and he likes to wear. In fact, in the last six months since he has come into the limelight again, I’ve become his costume designer, Esha told IANS.

Esha gave her dad a suitcase of clothes on his 72nd birthday Saturday.

“Actually, I don’t like shopping for myself. I like shopping only for my dad and my little niece,” she added.

The two babies in the family?

“No, dad is not a baby. He’s very tough, though with a very soft heart,” said the proud daughter.

“He’s a hard act to follow. I look for my dad in my male friends and find them quite inadequate. Dad is my teddy bear. I hug him and the world seems a nicer place.”

She’s papa’s pet.

“But not as much as my younger sister Ahana. No one in our entire family resembles dad as much as Ahana. I think he sees a lot of himself in her face, her nose, her eyes, etc.”

Ahana, a painter by choice, made a beautiful painting for her father’s birthday.

This year Dharmendra was seen in “Life… in a Metro” and “Johnny Gaddar”.
