Bollywood actress Esha Gupta, who has been dating Manuel Campos Guallar, a Spain-based businessman, for about five years now got candid about her marriage plans and the desire to embrace motherhood. In an interview she revealed freezing her eggs before meeting Manuel and how she'd already have kids if she wasn't in showbiz.

Esha told ETimes, "Marriage would happen anytime soon. I'm focusing more on just my health. Eventually, whenever down the line, I'll get married, and then down the line, I have kids. I've always dreamed of having kids. That's always been important. Kids and dogs are two aspects of my life that I can never think of living without."

The 38-year-old ‘Aashram' actress added, "I froze my eggs in 2017 before I met Manuel. I thought that I'd rather freeze them when I'm healthy. If I wasn't an actor, I would have already had three kids by now. During the process of freezing your eggs, you can end up gaining weight because of the hormonal change. Your body is changing. You may end up becoming moody, but it's bound to make you happy as it's very exciting too."

Esha made her relationship with Manuel public in April 2020 after meeting him in 2019. "Since then, we both knew that we were serious about our relationship. We were very clear that if it goes well, our end goal is marriage. We want to get married and have kids. Manuel knows how much I love babies, and he's ready for fatherhood," the actress concluded.

Esha Gupta was last seen in the third season of the hit streaming series 'Aashram'. Last month, she made her foray into the culinary world. The actress launched her fine-dining restaurant Casa Salesas in Madrid. The restaurant promises a fusion of Mediterranean flavours, world cuisine, impeccable service, and a luxurious ambiance.

Talking about her new venture, Esha said, "Launching a fine-dining restaurant in a global hotspot like Madrid is like a dream coming true. I've always been passionate about food and creating memorable dining experiences. This allows me to blend my love for hospitality with my creative vision."

"My dream is to take Casa Salesas all over the world like they've done with Tatel and Toto, and I hope to bring it to India soon," Esha added. The restaurant is slated to open in mid-May.
