Hema Malini and Dharmendra’s daughter, Esha Deol, embarked on her acting journey following the footsteps of her renowned parents. After her debut in 2002 with “Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe,” Esha graced the silver screen in films like “Kaal,” “Dhoom,” and “No Entry,” showcasing her talent. Besides acting, Esha is a skilled classical dancer and an author.
In 2012, Esha tied the knot with businessman Bharat Takhtani, and the couple welcomed two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. However, after 12 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation, which surprised many fans. Speculations arose following Bharat’s absence from Hema Malini’s 75th birthday celebration, but the couple confirmed their separation on February 6, 2012.
Renewing Their Vows:
In a heartwarming gesture, Esha and Bharat renewed their wedding vows in 2017 during Esha’s godh bharai ceremony, held at the ISKCON temple in Mumbai. The couple retook their wedding vows in a traditional ceremony, symbolizing their enduring commitment. Reflecting on the event, Esha shared that it was an intimate affair attended by close family members, where they performed traditional rituals and exchanged vows.
For the occasion, Esha radiated elegance in a custom-made pink lehenga by designer Neeta Lulla, adorned with intricate gold motifs. She accessorized with exquisite Kundan jewellery, complementing her traditional ensemble. Bharat looked dashing in a white kurta-pyjama, exuding grace and charm alongside Esha.
Family and Friends:
The ceremony blended Sindhi and South Indian rituals, celebrating their diverse cultural heritage. Jaya Bachchan, Madhu, and other esteemed guests graced the occasion, adding to the joyous festivities. In October 2017, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Radhya, followed by the arrival of their second daughter, Miraya, two years later.
Challenges in Marriage:
Despite their initial social media displays of affection, Esha and Bharat gradually refrained from sharing glimpses of their relationship. Bharat’s absence from Hema Malini’s birthday party fueled speculation about their marital discord. Recently, rumours surfaced on Reddit, suggesting Bharat’s involvement with another woman, casting a shadow over their relationship. In response, the couple released a joint statement addressing the swirling rumours and confirming their separation.
