/> Until recently Esha Deol's sister Ahana wasn't sure about what she wanted to do with her life. Though acting was never an option, Ahana seemed interested in behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking like editing and scripting. But she has now settled for a completely new vocation.

Hema Malini's pretty younger daughter is now into dress designing.

Says Ahana's proud Didi Esha, "For the last six months Ahana has been planning and designing her own lineup of clothes. And now she's ready to hit the racks. She has named her range The Freeway Collection. She has 6-7 workshops in Mumbai and is very taken up with her job."

Needless to say Mama Hema, papa Dharmendra and sis Esha are all for the youngest Deol's vocation. Papa Dharam never wanted his daughters to go into acting. Now that the apple of his eye Ahana is into a stable non-filmy working atmosphere the entire clan has heaved a collective sigh of relief.

More new happenings in Esha's life. Their Juhu bungalow which was under construction for the past one year is almost ready.

Last year Esha her mom and sister moved into a new panoramic home in Goregaon. Though the three ladies loved the far-from-the-madding-crowd atmosphere at Goregaon and had decided to stay put in their sighing haven, the family is now planning to move back to Juhu to their original place.

Says Esha, "We miss our old home. That's where all our best memories are. That's where Esha and Ahana grew up. And that's where all of mom's friends from the industry stay. So yes, we plan to move back as soon as the renovation is done. One of the main problems in our Juhu home was the waterlogging in monsoon. The elevation work has been done. The outside is complete. And now the interiors are being done."

But there were advantages of staying in Goregaon. "Travelling to Film City for shooting is so easy here. That set of a aircraft that they put up at Film City for Hijack was just a hop away. Everyday I'd get into my car and drive straight into the aircraft."

Esha had a ball shooting Hijack. "It's an action film. I'm an airhostess wearing a skirt. So I couldn't do any stunts. But the interesting part of the film is that I don't have a hint of a romantic association with Shiney Ahuja.

I'm also doing Shivum Nair's Exchange Offer with Rahul Bose. It's a very contemporary film about a young couple.And working with Rahul is so different from working with any of my other co- stars."

Esha also went through a learning experience when she did an item song with Govinda in Money Hai To Honey Hai. "I did that number only to work with Govinda. I'm his biggest fan. As a child I used to watch some of his films almost every day. Dancing with him is a joy. He knows exactly how to handle the body contact in the dancing movements."
