Amidst the recent announcement of her separation from her husband, Bharat Takhtani, let’s take a look at Bollywood actor Esha Deol's past statements on arranged marriage and her perspectives on relationships.
Reflecting on her stance during an interview on the sidelines of her 2007 film "Just Married," Esha candidly expressed her aversion to arranged marriages. She asserted that she would prefer to be a runaway bride rather than succumb to an arranged union. Esha and Bharat, childhood acquaintances who later blossomed into a couple, tied the knot in 2012 and shared two daughters, Radhya and Miraya.
In the interview, Esha delved into her views on marriage, emphasizing the significance of dependability in a partner. She highlighted the necessity of experiencing dependency on one's significant other while acknowledging that, at times, it might be unnecessary to rely on others. Despite her separation from Bharat, she maintained that the best interests and welfare of their two children, Radhya and Miraya, remain their top priorities.
Over the years, Esha and Bharat have openly discussed their relationship dynamics. In an interview with Filmfare, Bharat described Esha as 'possessive,' providing insights into their married life. Esha, in her book "Amma Mia," published in 2020, revealed that marriage brought about a sense of maturity and responsibility. She candidly shared the adjustments she made after marrying into Bharat's family, indicating a shift in her lifestyle.
Announcing their separation to the Delhi Times, Esha and Bharat expressed mutual decision-making in parting ways. They emphasized the importance of privacy and their commitment to prioritizing the well-being of their children during this transitional phase in their lives.
