Esha Deol Remarries Bharat Takhtani Five Years Later, Describes Bond as ‘Thick as Thieves’

Rumors surrounding the separation of Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani gained momentum when Bharat was notably absent from his mother-in-law Hema Malini’s grand 75th birthday celebration, which saw the presence of numerous Bollywood stars. Months later, Esha and Bharat officially confirmed their separation through a joint statement, acknowledging the challenges they were currently facing. Despite the current strain in their relationship, it wasn’t always so. In a previous interview, Esha had described their bond as being ‘thick as thieves’ and commended Bharat for his unwavering support during her pregnancy.

The couple initially exchanged vows on June 29, 2012. In 2017, during Esha’s godh bharai ceremony, they remarried, adhering to Sindhi tradition, and Esha was pregnant with their first daughter Radhya. During a 2017 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Esha expressed affection for their relationship, stating, “Over the last five years, Bharat and I have become as thick as thieves. Since I’m pregnant, I’m prone to mood swings now, but he’s tolerated them and is extremely protective. He’s also my best critic, encouraging me in everything I do. At the risk of sounding filmi, I’ll say I wouldn’t want to change anything; life is beautiful!”
