Sizzling Esha Gupta, who has of late been scorching the internet by flooding it with plenty of topless and semi-nude, bikini-clad photographs, has said that she often finds it amusing that she is mistaken for a ‘South American’.

Former beauty queen and model-turned-actress Esha, who still looks stunning enough for her 31 years of age, has quite a few Hindi films on hand and has already had three of her films hitting the screens this year including the Hindi hit film Baadshaho and the Tamil-Telugu bilingual Yaar Ivan (Veedavadu in Telugu).

Clad in an elegant saree, Esha was a picture of grace and poise and looked angelic while taking part in the Indo-American Association for Art & Culture’s novel initiative Namaste America in Mumbai on Wednesday. Elder sister of Neha Gupta, a U.S.-based entrepreneur, Esha said that she was happy that India and America are maintaining ‘friendly’ ties in a world full of terrorism and wars.

“I’m more for building brides of friendship and love than actual bridges,” she remarked and added that it was nice to say Bollywood actresses (Deepika and Priyanka) making waves in Hollywood in U.S. On another note, she said that at times, she gets mistaken as a ‘South American’. “When I say I’m a Bollywood actress, I’m stared at surprisingly,” she laughs.
