🔍 Synopsis
Did Esha Gupta and Hardik Pandya once share a real connection? Why did their bond fade away before things could get serious? Was Esha truly unbothered by Hardik’s controversial remarks on Koffee With Karan—or did those comments quietly change everything? And what did she really mean by “Tamasha dekhna accha hota hai”?
There was a time when Esha Gupta was trending heavily in the news, not for her films or advertisement but for her alleged affair with Hardik Pandya before he was married to Natasa Stankovic.
The duo never confirmed about the affair but Esha very recently almost admitted in a podcast with Siddharth Kannan that something brewing was between the two at that time however things fizzled out for reasons known to them only.
When Siddharth asked whether she ever dated Hardik, the actress’s anxious and shy smile was quite visible and Siddharth was persistent enough to get the answer. She replied No.
Was Esha gupta hurted by Hardik’s opinion on Koffee Wid Karan’s show where he talked about women objectively? The actress emphasized multiple times in the interview that the duo had stopped talking a long time before that controversial episode was aired.
“By the time that controversy happened, it had already fazed out”
But what got our attention was her comment later on.
“Kaafi baar, Tamasha dekhna accha hota hai”
Esha may have opinioned in the recent interview that she wasn’t hurt by Hardik’s comments on Koffee With Karan Show, however she gave a strong criticism back then when the controversy happened.
“I know we are just blaming these two men but I think there are a lot of them who just sat and laughed and enjoyed the show when the TRP went up. They should have thought about it before. I have my brothers, I have my father. I have never seen anyone being so disrespectful.”
— Esha said to ZoomTV back in 2018
“I just don’t think anyone should be a misogynist and speak ill about any woman, even if you think that your parents are ok with it, I don’t think humanity is ok with it!”
— The actress said in another interview back then
If you remember, Hardik mentioned in the controversial episode that his parents knew about his sexual episodes with multiple women.
Whether Isha deliberately created a distance after Hardik’s comment on women or whether the chemistry actually fizzled out organically is something that only the actress knows!
Esha admitted that the attraction was there between the two at that time but there were no fights or bitterness that caused the distance between the two of them.
