Esha Deol has always been a friend of the Khan family, Feroz Khan's family that is. Fardeen calls her his best male buddy; given their rapport with each other while she was once upon a time romantically linked with cousin Zayed.

Feroz Khan himself is very fond of the girl and Esha would drop in at the FK house in Juhu even if the boys weren't around to catch up with her Feroz Uncle.

So it wasn't surprising to see Esha making regular rounds of the hospital when Feroz Khan was recently hospitalized.

But unlike other celebrities making a scene out of hospital visits, we are told Esha would be very subdued and would make a quiet entry into the hospital and spend time with Feroz Khan doing her best to avoid drawing attention to her in the hospital.

Knowing Feroz Khan being a scrabble fan, she would be playing word games with him to keep him in good spirits in his troubled times.

One evening she was even seen carrying a dabba of home made food for him and basically taking good care of his like his own kin. That's quite touching, we think.
