Bollywood actress Esha Deol has stated that Deepika Padukone was her favourite among the actresses who were good at classical dancing. The 34-year-old 'Dhoom' star praised her mother, noted actress-turned-politician Hema Malini, for promoting classical dance. "Today everybody is learning Zumba, Salsa... I am happy my mom is still promoting our Indian classical dance. There are a couple of actresses who are really good at it. In today's day, I would say I like Deepika a lot," said Esha, on the sidelines of 'Jaya Smriti', an annual dance event organised by Hema Malini, in memory of her mother, Jaya Chakravarthy.
