A parent’s heart surely sinks when their child faces a major life change, especially one as difficult as divorce. Legendary actor Dharmendra experienced this profound sadness recently. His daughter, Esha Deol, and her husband, Bharat Takhtani, decided to part ways. This news deeply affected Dharmendra, particularly because of his concern for his two young granddaughters.
Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani made the difficult choice to end their 11-year marriage in February 2024. They announced their separation as a mutual decision. For Dharmendra, hearing that his daughter’s family was breaking apart brought him great distress. He held onto hope that Esha and Bharat might reconsider their decision for the sake of their children.
A Father’s Plea for Reconsideration
A family source, close to the Deol family, shared insights with Amar Ujala. They explained that no parent wishes to see their child’s home dissolve. Dharmendra, being a devoted father, felt this pain intensely. It wasn’t that he opposed his daughter’s decision to separate. Instead, he wished for Esha and Bharat to think one more time about their choice. He hoped they could find a way to preserve their family for their daughters.

Esha and Bharat are parents to two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. These girls share a close bond with both their maternal and paternal grandparents. The family source indicated that children often suffer when their parents separate. This is why Dharmendra felt that if the marriage could be saved, they should definitely try. Esha and Bharat Takhtani were married in 2012. Esha was last seen in the web series ‘Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega.’
