Esha Deol and Ameesha Patel
It was Ameesha Patel who talked about outsiders like Kareena Kapoor and Esha Deol snatching roles from her. Now, Esha has reacted to Patel's claims, saying that back then everyone was busy with their own work and no one tried to snatch anybody's work.
In an interview with India Today, Esha disagreed with Ameesha's statement and said, "Did she? My thoughts are very different. I think we were all very busy with our own lot of what we were given. I've had some wonderful friendships with the girls back then, and I think no one snatched anyone's role to my knowledge."
"Everyone was very busy and happy working in their own zone. Everyone was very friendly, all the girls, even the men very friendly, very warm, it was really nice... "I think we were all doing so much work and had so much to do. It is not that any one of us was sitting without work," Esha further added.

It was earlier in an interview with Bollywood Hungama while talking about how her contemporaries couldn't handle her success, Ameesha Patel shared, "When I entered the film industry, I only had film actors' kids or producers' kids enter with me, it was Kareena Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Tusshar Kapoor, Esha Deol, Fardeen Khan, you name it, you turn your head and it was a film family third generation person coming in."
The actress further said, "I was the outsider and I was anyway this south Bombay (girl) looked upon as a snob because I was the educated outsider. I was the one who did not b'''' on sets, I read books, I did not gossip, so I was anyway called a snob because I chose to read."
