    The Bollywood industry is just another world with celebrities having a lot of controversies now and then. Every day we see new stories coming up with hookups and blowups amongst celebrities. One such incident is about Esha Deol and Amrita Rao which got all the limelight back in 2005 on the sets of the movie, Pyare Mohan.

    Deol and Rao had a heated argument on the sets which ended up with Deol slapping Rao, to which Esha Deol later said in an interview that she doesn't regret hitting as she deserved the slap.

    Although Pyare Mohan failed miserably in the box movie, the film gained some buzz due to this slap incident as people were eager to know what happened.

    In 2005, when Vivek Oberoi, Esha Deol, Amrita Rao and Fardeen Khan were shooting for Pyare Mohan, an argument broke out between Esha Deol and Amrita Rao, which ended up with Deol slapping Rao.

    Even in 2005, the Dhoom actress Esha Deol publicly opened up on this issue and said that she never felt sorry for slapping Amrita Rao. Speaking of the incident, Esha Deol said in a statement back then, that Amrita Rao totally deserved the slap, and she has no regret slapping her.

    Allegedly, one day, after pack-up, Amrita Rao had publicly abused Esha Deol in front of Indra Kumar, the director and another cameraman. Esha Deol was unhappy with this comment and considered it out of the line, and she felt harassed.

    To protect her self-respect and dignity, Esha Deol slapped Amrita Rao. At that point in time, she totally deserved her slap because of her actions.

    The matter never went out of hand as the leading ladies soon patched up. Later, when Amrita Rao realised that she was wrong, she came and apologised to the Dhoom actress. Esha Deol forgave her and said that everything was fine between them. Now everything is fine as both the actress has reconciled.

    During that time, Esha Deal was at the height of success for being a part of several blockbuster movies such as YRF’s Dhoom, Dus, Kaal, etc. Even Amrita Rao was winning millions of hearts at that time for being the leading lady in hit movies like Main Hoon Na, Ishq Vishq, etc. Currently, both of these actors are out of the film industry for a while and are enjoying their blissful married life.

    How did Esha Deol react when she was asked about her inappropriate behaviour?
    Many people said that Esha Deol slapping Amrita Rao is unjust and inappropriate.

    When Esha Deol was asked about the same, she calmly said that she belongs to a well-cultured background and that losing her temper is not something she’s taught.

    She acted as per the moment’s requirement.

    It is not in her nature to do something out of proportion unless she’s compelled or instigated for it.

    What was Amrita Rao’s reaction to the slap?
    When Amrita Rao was asked to speak something about the incident, very casually, she said that it’s wrong for people to blame either of them without knowing everything. For her, that incident is a closed chapter, and she denied speaking further on it.
