Esha Deols Journey: From Childhood Crush to Marriage and Divorce
Esha Deol reflects on her relationship with Bharat Takhtani, from childhood friends to marriage and eventual divorce.
New Delhi, November 1 (Daily Kiran) : Esha Deol, the daughter of Bollywood stars Dharmendra and Hema Malini, has been in the spotlight for both her film career and personal life. As she prepares to celebrate her 45th birthday on November 2, we take a closer look at her relationship with Bharat Takhtani, which has spanned years and included both romance and challenges.
Esha and Bharat first met when they were just 13 years old. Despite attending different schools, they often crossed paths during various competitions. Esha has shared that Bharat attempted to hold her hand and even planned to propose to her back in school—a moment that left her quite upset, leading her to scold him at the time.
Bharat, reflecting on their early days, described Esha as his first crush. He recalled how she once wrote her phone number on a tissue paper, sparking a connection that would endure, although they lost touch after graduation. Nearly a decade later, fate brought them together again at Niagara Falls in Canada, where they reignited their friendship. This time, with Esha’s consent, Bharat took her hand, and she welcomed the gesture.
The couple married in 2012, but their union faced its share of difficulties. After 12 years of marriage, they decided to part ways in 2024 due to irreconcilable differences. Esha made efforts to maintain their relationship, even stepping back from her film career initially, but ultimately, their marriage could not withstand the pressures they faced.
Esha’s marriage began on a high note. In a unique gesture, she and Bharat renewed their vows five years after their wedding, a tradition in Sindhi culture meant to strengthen their bond. However, despite her hopes, their relationship took a turn that neither had anticipated.
Throughout her career, Esha has starred in several notable films, showcasing her talent and versatility as an actress. As she reflects on her life, her journey serves as a reminder of the complexities of love and relationships in the public eye.
