Esha wasn't that bad. She did have few hit movies and hit songs. Now when I look at how horrible these nepokids Jhanvi, Khushi, Ibrahim, Suhana are, I ll say Esha and Tushar were not that bad atall. The standards have come down drastically.
This Suhana is the worst in the lot. When she dances it looks like 90's Shahrukh is wearing a wig & dancing. She has no grace & looks very garib.
I always thought Esha Deol was the worst, but you are right. The current nepo gang is much worse. Now that I think of it, even Uday Chopra was decent, he at least has the role of Ali that he did very well.
I will also say - let's not forget that Esha Deol also had HIGHER standards to match. She debuted when Aishwarya, Rani, Preity were peaking..... and Kareena, Priyanka, Bipasha, Katrina (as a star,not actress) were getting quickly rising stars.
Compared to today, these nepo kids have Alia and maybe Deepika to look upto. So even the person they are looking upto has fallen in standards.
