Actor Esha Deol, daughter of veteran actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini, on Tuesday announced her separation from her husband Bharat Takhtani. The duo had tied the knot in 2012. Esha and Bharat issued a joint statement and said that they had “mutually and amicably” decided to part ways.
Esha and Bharat are parents to two girls, Radhya and Miraya. In 2020, Esha had penned a book titled Amma Mia: Stories, Advice and Recipes from One Mother to Another in which she had talked about how Bharat felt “neglected” after the birth of their second daughter.
“After my second baby, for a short while, I noticed that Bharat was cranky and irritated with me,” Esha wrote in her parenting book, according to a report in DNA Entertainment News. “He felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention. It is very natural for a husband to feel this way because at that time, I was consumed with Radhya’s playschool fiasco and feeding Miraya, and I was also between writing my book and dealing with my production meetings. So, he felt neglected. And I immediately noticed the error of my ways. I remembered the times when Bharat had asked me for a new toothbrush, and it had slipped my mind, or when his shirts hadn’t been pressed or when I sent him off to work without bothering to check what he’d been given for lunch.”
She further revealed what she did to keep the romance “alive”. “He’s a man of very few needs, and if I couldn’t look after him, there was something wrong. I quickly made sure to rectify it… I figured that I hadn’t gone out for date nights or a movie with him in a while. So I decided to step out of my tracks, loosen my bun, wear a nice dress and go out with him on the weekends.”
The rumours of Esha and Bharat’s separation had been making headlines for a long time now. It all started after the latter skipped his mother-in-law Hema Malini’s birthday bash last year. He was also not seen at Esha’s birthday bash.
