“My ride this morning… Rickshaw ride aaj maza aaya. Ye hai Mumbai meri jaan. (The rickshaw ride was fun today. This is Mumbai, my love.),” she wrote as the caption.

Esha is the daughter of actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini. She made her acting debut in the romantic thriller Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe in 2002. She tasted success in the political film Aayutha Ezhuthu, the action thrillers Dhoom and Dus, Kaal, and the comedy No Entry.

This was followed by a setback and a hiatus. She returned to acting with the streaming series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness and Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega.

Esha’s latest work includes ‘Tumko Meri Kasam,’ which is believed to be based on the life of Dr. Ajay Murdia, the founder of the well-known Indira IVF chain.

Helmed by Vikram Bhatt, "Tumko Meri Kasam," also stars Adah Sharma, Durgesh Kumar, Sushant Singh, Nazeea Syed Hasan, Shubhankar Das, and Manmeet Singh Sawhney in key roles, along with others.

In March, Esha’s mother Hema showered praises on her daughter after watching 'Tumko Meri Kasam'.

She called Esha’s performance mature, dignified, and wholesome.

Hema had written: "Watched Esha in Tumko Meri Kasam at the premiere last night. Under Vikram Bhat’s able direction, so proud that Esha has given a mature, dignified, wholesome performance as have all the other artistes. Anupam Kher was as in all his films, the complete artiste.”

“The film is based on the true story of a doctor. Gave me such pleasure and satisfaction to watch a well made film on the big screen.”

Nice to see celebs experiencing normal life, but let's not forget auto-wallahs charge us common people double when they see a celebrity 😂 Hope she paid the meter price only!

Esha's comeback has been so inspiring! From Dhoom days to now, she's maintained such grace. Also, that caption "Ye hai Mumbai meri jaan" - so true! The city's spirit is in these small moments.

While I appreciate the gesture, I wish celebrities would use their platform to highlight the struggles of auto drivers too - long hours, rising fuel costs, etc. Would make such posts more meaningful.

That floral shirt + auto combo is such a vibe! Reminds me of my college days when we'd squeeze 3 friends in one auto to save money 😂 Esha's keeping it relatable - more power to her!

Good to see her embracing Mumbai's local transport. But I hope she also talks about improving last-mile connectivity in our cities. Stars can influence positive change if they go beyond just photo ops.
