Esha Deol and her husband of 11 years, Bharat Takhtani, recently issued a statement saying they were separating ‘amicably’. Esha and Bharat got married in 2012 and are parents to their two daughters – Radhya, 6, and Miraya, 4. Over a decade ago, Esha and Bharat gave their first interview where Esha compared herself to her mother, Hema Malini’s character, in the film Satte Pe Satta as she was the first bahu in his family of seven cousins.
In the same interview, Esha had shared that Bharat does not want her to put on any weight. She shared with Filmfare, “Bharat doesn’t want me to put on weight. We’ll soon be joining ashtanga yoga classes.” She also shared that her mother had advised her to wake up before her husband and help her mother-in-law in household chores. “There’s mom’s never ending advise – you shouldn’t be sleeping late, you’ve got to wake up before your husband, help your mother-in-law, don’t give up your dance practice…” she recalled.
Bharat, who also participated in the interview, said Esha has always been “gharelu (homely)” even though she “liked to believe she was the boy of the house.” Bharat said that Esha did not even know how to make tea but learnt to prepare khao suey because she was “aware of what keeps me happy.”
“She takes care of my mother, her moods, she’s gelled so well. Actually, Esha’s always been gharelu though she liked to believe she was the boy of the house. She’s caring and responsible. She’s aware of what keeps me happy. I’m a foodie, I live to eat. And she sees to it that my favourite dishes are prepared at home. In fact, for someone who didn’t know how to make chai, just the other day, she cooked Khow Suey,” he said.
Bharat and Esha announced their separation on Tuesday in a statement to Delhi Times and said, “We have mutually and amicably decided to part ways. Through this shift in our lives, the best interests and welfare of our two children is and will be of utmost importance to us. We’d appreciate our privacy is respected.”
Esha is the daughter of veteran actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini.
