Esha Gupta (born 1985) is the Indian actress and model; Esha Deol (born 1981) is the daughter of Dharmendra and Hema Malini.

Where Esha stands.

Esha does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

Eshas before her.
