Esha Deol said that she enjoyed going out and drinking with friends, but that she would never intentionally embarrass her parents. She shared, “I would have never done anything that would put my parents to shame. Yes, I would party, I would have a few drinks with my friends, I would have my share of fun, and why not? That was the right age and time. At that age, everyone parties and drinks; the only issue was that I was in the public eye."
