Esha Deol has opened up about her personal life after her separation from husband Bharat Takhtani, sharing that she still misses having love and romance in her life. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actress spoke honestly about how life has changed after the end of her marriage. Even though she is going through a difficult phase, Esha said her belief in true love remains as strong as ever. She described herself as someone who enjoys romantic stories, love songs and emotional relationships, adding that romance has always been an important part of her personality.
Speaking about her feelings, Esha said that love and romance are among the most meaningful things in a person’s life, and admitted that these are the things she currently misses the most. She explained that she has always been a fan of romantic films and stories and continues to believe in the beauty of love. When asked if her separation had changed her opinion about relationships, Esha said it had not. She pointed out that breakups are a part of life and everyone goes through them at some point. According to her, such experiences do not change her faith in finding genuine love.
The actress also shared that she grew up watching the strong relationship between her parents, Hema Malini and Dharmendra. She said their bond and unconditional love have always inspired her and shaped the way she looks at relationships. That is why, despite facing personal challenges, she continues to believe that true love still exists.
Talking about her separation from Bharat Takhtani, Esha said it is a deeply personal matter that mainly concerns the two people involved. She explained that because both of them are public figures, their personal lives naturally become a topic of public discussion. However, she said neither she nor Bharat likes to speak openly about private matters. She added that the situation became even more sensitive because they have two young daughters. For that reason, both families chose to handle everything with care and dignity.
Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani got married in 2012 and announced their separation in 2024 after being together for more than a decade. At the time, they released a joint statement saying that the decision was made mutually and peacefully. They also stressed that the happiness and well being of their daughters, Radhya and Miraya, would always remain their top priority. The former couple also requested privacy as they adjusted to this new chapter in their lives while continuing to focus on raising their children together.
