She also revealed that Amrita later apologised to her and she even forgave her.

Slap gate episode

"Yes, I slapped Amrita. One day after pack-up, she abused me in front of my director, Indra Kumar and my cameraman and I thought that was totally out of line. To protect my self-respect and dignity, in the heat of the moment, I slapped her. I have no regrets because she totally deserved it for her behaviour towards me at that point in time. I just stood up for myself and my dignity. She realised what she had done and apologised to me and I forgave her. Now, things are fine between us," Esha had told TOI in 2005.

Amrita had also opened up about the whole episode and said, "It's unfair to blame her but I don't want to say anything more. It's a closed chapter for me."

After marriage

Both Amrita Rao and Esha Deol are now happily married. Esha had recently revealed that she had no idea about being pregnant while she was celebrating the birthday of her first daughter. She said, "Second time when I was pregnant, I didn't know. I was shocked, you know I didn't know. I definitely wanted a second baby and I was in Goa celebrating Radhya's birthday around that time. And I was sitting over there, crying. I am wondering what's going on and then I came back to Bombay and I got to know I am preggo," TOI quoted Esha saying.
