I had pieces of this story before but I just heard some of the final bits this weekend from a crew member who worked on the Pyaare Mohan sets. It actually wasn't just a slap. It started with Esha slapping Amrita but then continued into a proper physical fight. Amrita tried to hit Esha back but was no match for her being shorter, thinner and weaker. Esha basically beat her quite badly. The stunned crew only sprang into action and pulled them apart when a crying Amrita started screaming for help.
Apparently Amrita & Esha did not get along right from the beginning. Throughout the shoot, Esha was generally a bully to everyone but particularly targeted Amrita including doing things like physically pushing her out of her way and demanding her lines & perks were reduced compared to Esha's. Amrita being the feisty girl she was also gave it back to Esha in her own way.
Things escalated to the point where Esha was makes jibes at how Amrita was poor, from a 'lower class' family, and how she was 'Flat'. She made these comments both when Amrita's wasn't there but also right to Amrita's face. Amrita usually ignored Esha in person but also made nasty comments like Esha was 'Fat' and from a broken family with no morals when Esha wasn't there.
What ended up happening was that once Amrita thought Esha wasn't there and commented on Esha's earlier rude behavior by saying of course someone without proper parenting like Esha would behave that way. Unfortunately for her, Esha heard Amrita said it and confronted her immediately. Esha slapped Amrita and then the fight was on.
I don't know what happened after the fight. Amrita should have filed a police complaint because Esha basically assualted and beat the crap out of her. I can only guess that she was too intimidated to do that and was worried about getting roles in the industry.
Esha reeks of entitlement and while I never liked her before this, hearing the full story makes me detest her.
