Esha Deol has been quite vocal about her personal and professional life. The actress recently discussed an orthodox ritual she followed while growing up, revealing that she was not allowed to pray at temples during her periods. Reflecting on the conservative norm, she shared, "I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in."
In an episode of 'Hautterfly's The Male Feminist', Esha Deol recalled learning about menstruation and periods during sex education at school. She stated, “I learnt about it at school. Our school had sex education, and they taught us well and at the right time. And it is important. There are a few parents who feel uncomfortable and shy. We were not allowed to go to the temple and pray. When it is done, you can wash your hair and then you can pray. That’s just an orthodox way, and I follow it. I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in."
