Bollywood actress Esha Deol and businessman Bharat Takhtani may have separated last year, but the two continue to maintain a friendly and respectful bond. Recently, the former couple was seen together once again during a private gathering with close friends, and the pictures from the event are now getting attention online.
The photo was shared on Instagram by Esha’s close friend Smriti Khanna. In the picture, Esha and Bharat were seen sitting next to each other comfortably while posing with their friends. Esha had her hand resting on Bharat’s shoulder, making the moment look warm and natural. The photo also featured actor Gautam Gupta, Jackky Bhagnani, and fitness coach Satya.
Sharing the picture online, Smriti wrote that it was a fun afternoon filled with laughter and gossip. She also mentioned that they missed friends Rakul Preet Singh, Zayed Khan and Malz Khan at the gathering. Esha later reshared the post on her Instagram story and added heart emojis, showing her happiness about spending time with close friends.
For the casual outing, Esha kept her style simple and classy in a white shirt and blue jeans. Bharat also chose a relaxed all white outfit with a shirt and trousers. Fans quickly noticed how comfortable and friendly the two looked together despite their separation.
Esha, who is the daughter of legendary actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini, married Bharat in 2012 in Mumbai. The couple have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. In February 2024, after more than a decade of marriage, Esha and Bharat announced their separation through a joint statement. They shared that the decision was mutual and peaceful and added that their children’s happiness and well being would always remain their top priority.
Even after separating, the two have continued to support each other during important moments in life. Earlier, Bharat was seen accompanying Esha during difficult times following the death of her father Dharmendra in 2025. Reports also suggested that Bharat has moved on personally and found love again with Meghna Lakhani.
Meanwhile, Esha has been focusing on her professional life and recently followed her passion for interior design. She partnered with The House of Abhinandan Lodha for a luxury villa project in Alibaug and shared that her late father Dharmendra always encouraged her creative ideas and love for design.
