Hema Malini and Dharmendra's daughter Esha Deol announced her separation from Bharat Takhtani after their ten-year marriage. In a joint statement, the former couple revealed that they have decided to part ways. Now, after announcing the separation, the Bollywood actress shared her first social media post with a cryptic caption.
Esha posted a selfie on her Instagram weeks after the announcement of the separation and wrote: "No matter how dark it gets the sun will rise 💛☀️"
Before announcing their divorce, reports started doing rounds about the separation when Bharat did not show up for Hema Malini's 75th birthday celebration in October last year. Even in November, he missed Esha's birthday celebrations.
A couple of weeks ago, in a shared statement given to the Delhi Times, Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani announced their mutual decision to divorce. They said, “We have mutually and amicably decided to separate. Through this transition, the well-being of our two children remains our top priority. We request that our privacy be respected."
A few days ago, Esha was spotted at the airport while she was heading out of the city. She then responded to one of the paparazzi who asked her about her well-being by saying, “Main theek hoon (I am fine).”
Veteran actor Dharmendra, who is the father of Esha Deol, is reportedly sad about his daughter's separation. In a recent report the actor said that he wants her to rethink her decision. According to a report by Bollywood Life, a source revealed, "No parents can be happy seeing their children's family being broken. Even Dharmendraji is a father and one can understand his pain. It's not that he is against his daughter's decision to get separated but wants her to rethink over it."
After starring in multiple movies, Esha took a break from acting and she recently made her debut on OTT in Ajay Devgn’s Rudra: The Edge of Darkness.
