Esha Gupta who is known to be a fitness enthusiast is trying out new, fun styles to remain fit. Esha has now planned a training session to help her get her agility and physicality in place before she starts shooting for her next movie. The actress, is inspired by Akshay Kumar who has been the pioneer of martial arts in India. Esha says, “I think the reason women should take up martial arts is for their own protection. They don’t need to be dependent on men anymore and think that they will be their knight in shining armour and save them. Especially the fact in our country there have been instances where women are being assaulted but no one really mans up and protects them. Martial arts is something that is not so common in India but everyone can take up. I just want to be an example for girls to go out there and learn. We should be able to secure ourselves and help ourselves. I also was hugely inspired by Akshay Kumar when he said that girls in school should be taught martial arts.”
