<p>Newly-wed actress Esha Deol says she will now accept only those roles that suit her family life.<br /><br />The 30-year-old, who married businessman Bharat Takhtani June 29 this year, told IANS: "If something comes my way and if it suits my family situation, I will take it up. It has to be a respectable character, for I can't be doing 'Dhoom'-kind roles now."<br /><br />Talking of her future plans, she said, "I have a home production firm and I am starting television production soon. Of course, my classical dance engages me too."<br />The actress said that she had no film roles in the pipeline, as of now.<br /><br />After having made her debut in Bollywood with the not-so-successful "Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe", Esha later featured in hit movies like "Dhoom", "Yuva" and "No Entry". Her career then plateaued, but she has no regrets.<br /><br />"I am very happy that I got to be in the industry for 12 years. I think ups and downs happen in every one's career; without those, you wouldn't know how it is to work," she says.<br /><br />Being the daughter of veteran actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini, Esha says her parents' larger-than-life image did exert pressure when she first set out to work.<br />"When I did my first film, there was immediately this comparison with the parents, who had done 100 films! So that kind of comparison exerts pressure. Otherwise, it sure is a blessing to be born in a proper Punjabi family where no one has the guts to mess around with a girl," she said.<br /><br />And how has marriage changed her life? "It's much the same," she says.<br />"Earlier, we were seeing each other; so it's not so different. It's just that the husband-wife roles come with more responsibilities," she says.<br /><br />And is there something quite tough about marriage? "The most challenging thing is to wake up before your husband wakes up. That is the toughest thing, I feel. And the sweetest thing is to be in bed with someone right," she says.<br /><br />So will acting now take the back seat? And does a married actress get short shrift in Bollywood?<br /><br />"I wouldn't really know, yet. I haven't experienced that, since I've just been married. <br />But I feel encouraged that actresses like Kajol and Madhuri Dixit are back and working," she said.<br /><br />And why did Esha choose a typical south Indian wedding?<br /><br />"I always wanted a south Indian wedding. Mainly because in the south, you sit on your father's lap when the 'kanyadaan' is done. And this is something that I had always wanted, from my childhood," she says.<br /><br />Recently, Esha even walked the ramp with her handsome husband at the India Bridal Fashion Week 2012, for jewellery brand "Azva".</p>.<p>"I was very excited. This was the first time I walked the ramp with Bharat. It was a lovely collection with seven "vows", and we had taken our vows so recently. It was perfect," she says.<br /></p>
