She is also famed for her physical strength and is one of the rare Bollywood heroines with a ripped, muscular body.

Esha's portrayal of a notorious and vengeful ghost in Ram Gopal Verma's Darling (2007) was praised all over and applauded with positive reviews. Taran Adarsh from indiaFM noted that, "Esha Deol is excellent in a role that’s nothing short of a challenge. It would’ve boomeranged had it been entrusted to any inferior actor, but Esha is in terrific form here. This should be the turning point in her career."[2]
