Esha has matured as an actor, says Tusshar Kapoor

Actor Tusshar Kapoor, who has worked with actress Esha Deol in several movies like "Kucch To Hai" and "Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa", seems to be in awe of her.

Tusshar on Wednesday took to Twitter to praise Esha for her recently released short film "Cakewalk".

"'Cakewalk' says so much about life in just 23 minutes. Esha, as an actor you've matured like wine and Ram Kamal, you have handled this subject like a veteran...," he wrote.

In the film, Esha essays a Bengali character.

Talking about the film, Esha earlier said : "I have been to Kolkata many times and I have interacted with Bengali people also. Since the film is about a Bengali character, I attempted to bring in some nuances in Shilpa Sen. Going by my observation, Bengali women are sweet by nature. There is no pretension. They have a certain cuteness."

Esha is currently expecting her second child.
