Bollywood star Esha Deol and businessman Bharat Takhtani have officially announced their separation after 11 years of marriage. They tied the knot in 2012 in a private traditional ceremony at Mumbai’s ISKCON temple. In a joint statement, the couple said that they commit to the well-being of their children. It will be their top priority amidst the decision to part ways.
On Wednesday, they released a statement about their separation, stating, ‘’We have decided to part ways in a mutual and friendly manner. During this change in our lives, the well-being of our two children is our top priority. We kindly ask for our privacy to be respected. Thank you.’’
Rumours of their separation started when Esha removed all of Takhtani’s pictures from her Instagram. During her birthday celebrations last year, Bharat’s absence further fueled these speculations.
Esha and Bharat’s love story began when they met at an inter-school competition called Cascade, hosted by Esha’s school. In an interview, Esha shared that she gave Bharat her phone number by writing it on a piece of tissue. They faced challenges communicating due to having only one phone in their mother’s room without an extension. Despite these difficulties, Esha described that time as beautiful, filled with infatuation and innocence.
As they moved on to college and Esha started working at the age of 18, their connection faded. However, they later reconnected, and Esha expressed happiness that Bharat is now her life partner, as reported by India Today, quoting the Dhoom actress.
