Eesha Koppikar not an IPL fan

Mumbai: Indian Premier League (IPL) matches might be a craze among Bollywod stars, but actress Eesha Koppikar does not like the tournament because she believes it divides the country into different teams.

"For me, may the best person win. I did watch the World Cup because I am an Indian and I love my country. But what happens in IPL is that the country gets divided into different teams. I don`t like it," she said here Thursday at the Gudi Padwa celebrations. The 36-year-old is not at all fascinated by cricket. "Not much. Actually I have seen my father and my brother watching cricket like crazy since I was a kid. They used to forget everything that was happening around them. I don`t get so engrossed in cricket," said the actress of films like ‘Pinjar’, ‘36 China Town’ and ‘Don - The Chase Begins’. Esha is making her debut in Marathi films with ‘Maat’, being directed by Manohar Sarvankar. Talking about the status of the film, Eesha said: "My Marathi film is almost complete, two songs are left. We have started post-production and dubbing. It is my debut in the Marathi film industry, so I am a little nervous." IANS Image courtesy: Eesha Koppikar`s Twitter
