Raaz 3: Emraan Hashmi mentors Esha Gupta

Mumbai: Model-turned-actress Esha Gupta, who would be sharing screen space with Emraan Hashmi for the second time in Vikram Bhatt's 'Raaz 3', is full praise for the actor and looks up to him as a mentor. The 23-year-old made her acting debut in 'Jannat 2' opposite Emraan.

"I love Emraan. I was really scared of him during 'Jannat'. He as a person is very quite. During 'Jannat', he used to give his scenes as a piece of cake and I would be looking at him. The moment he used to react I was like tongue tied. I had no idea what I was doing. But he is really sweet," Esha said in an interview.

"He was like calm down.. I have done worse than you in my first few films. I thought he is joking. But it was during the promotions of 'Jannat' when Mahesh Bhatt told me... in his initial films Emraan used to give 30-40 takes, I was like I am not that bad then. He is quite like my mentor he has given me a lot of tips," she said.
