Need a partner who supports me and doesn’t try to change me: Esha Gupta

Actor Esha Gupta has often been in news for her personal life with her alleged beau Manuel Campos Guallar. Talking about how speculations don’t bother her, she tells us, “People only know how much I’m putting out there but they think that they know a lot. I’m an extremely private person when it comes to my family and friends. People write a lot of things but it really doesn’t matter to me.”

If I get married to the richest guy and he leaves me, I don’t want to live with alimony. I want to have something of my own. I don’t want to change my surname. I need a partner who supports me and doesn’t try to change me.”
