Esha Deol announces SEPARATION from Bharat Takhtani: ‘We have mutually decided to separate’

Esha Deol and her husband Bharat Takhtani have decided to separate after 11 years of being together. On Tuesday, the two issued a joint statement and revealed that they had decided to part ways “mutually and amicably.” They shared that they will continue to co-parent their children and asked for everyone’s privacy.

“We have mutually and amicably decided to separate. Through this change in our lives, the best interests and well-being of our two children is and will be of utmost importance to us. We would appreciate if our privacy is respected,” read his statement issued to the Delhi Times.

Rumors about Esha and Bharat’s separation were making headlines for a long time. It all started after the latter skipped his mother-in-law Hema Malini’s birthday party last year. He was also not seen at Esha’s birthday celebration.

Esha and Bharat got married in 2012. The two are parents to daughters Radhya and Miraya, who are six and four years old respectively.

Esha Deol is Dharmendra’s daughter from his second marriage to Hema Malini. She also has a sister named Ahana Deol. Before Bollywood’s Dream Girl, Dharmendra was married to Prakash Kaur with whom he has two children: Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.

Esha is often asked about her relationship with Sunny and Bobby. Recently, Esha was speaking to Instant Bollywood, when she shared candid insights about her bonding and expressed her amusement at the term ‘reunion’ when it refers to her relationship with Sunny and Bobby.

“First of all, the reunion is something I don’t understand. It’s so fun to hear that word. “We are very private as a family and we have kept it that way and we are going to continue to keep it that way,” he said and then added: “This was something unique in that it happened very organically and you all saw us in a picture that was very well received and “The audience was very overwhelmed, so it was very sweet.”
