The two sides of the family have mostly lived separately over the years, but Esha and her half-brother have always shared a warm bond.

He paused mid-sentence, clearly overwhelmed, before gathering himself and pouring out his heart. “Dad and I would spend… I can’t talk about it; it’s so hard…Dad and I would spend hours discussing different landscapes, houses and simple spaces, and he would always say, ‘Lage raho, bete; karte raho’ (Just keep going), and those words… I carry them with me even today; they guide me. His faith in my creativity is what gave me the courage to pursue it wholeheartedly today,” she said. The actress also shared a beautiful and very personal detail about her brand, revealing that the flashlight in her logo was something her father made with his own hands. “The flashlight in my logo was personally handcrafted by my father. It was his gift to me,” he said.
