Ester, along with her mother's support and her Master's insistence, took it up.

As Ester was still in senior college when she entered the film industry, and the frequency of offers she was receiving increased, she realised her education suffered and thus decided to take a break and focus on her studies. In her interview with the Deccan Chronicle, Hyderabad, she was stated saying, "I was still studying when I did 1000 Abaddalu and Bheemavaram Bullodu. Suddenly, it seemed like acting was going to stay and I wasn’t prepared for it as I was in my final year of graduation, which was very important for me. So, I focused on my studies and completed the MA in Political Science from the University of Mumbai last year, which was my actual dream and plan”. The actress had earlier made plans to prepare for the Civil exams. “I want to. I guess time will reveal whether I will be able to fulfil that dream or not. I completed my masters for that only".
