Did you know she was the only Bollywood celebrity invited to the UEFA Euro 2024 Finals in Berlin's Olympiastadion? This is not a drill. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Esha said, “It was great. I'm glad that they invited all the people who follow the sport or are amazing athletes in their own field. They called me in the capacity of a Bollywood actor but someone who knows the sport, which makes it even better as I was surrounded by all the fans and the emotions were high.”

Esha Gupta also shared her experience of meeting football legend Sami Khedira. “I met Sami Khedira, one of the legends in football, a great person. We also met Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, he's one of the World champions in Ski, absolutely amazing he is. We all exchanged great stories and heard about each other experiences. They were really nice and humble guys,” she noted.

Speaking about the popularity of Bollywood, Esha Gupta said, “Firstly, the fact that the world recognises our film industry is commendable. Secondly, I'm honoured they invited me and I was representing the industry as someone who knows the game, not just as a celebrity. Which is a good representation and we get the respect.”
