Dharmendra and Esha Deol
A couple of weeks back, actress Esha Deol and her husband Bharat Takhtani announced their decision to end their marriage. According to reports, Esha's father and veteran actor Dharmendra is pained by this decision. A report in Bollywood Life states that the senior actor is sad about the couple's decision to separate. He also wants them to reconsider their decision for the sake of their two kids.
According to the report, Dharmendra is not against Esha Deol's decisions but believes that the separation will badly affect Esha and Bharat's daughters Radhya and Miraya. A source told the portal, "No parents can be happy seeing their children's family being broken. Even Dharmendra ji is a father and one can understand his pain. It's not that he is against his daughter's decision to get separated but wants her to rethink over it."
The source added, "Esha and Bharat both respect Dharmendra immensely. He is like a son to the Deol family, while Esha is the apple of the eye of father Dharmendra and he wants her to be happy always. As her family is getting hooked, he is indeed sad, and that's the reason he wants them to reconsider getting separated. Esha and Bharat have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. They are very close to their grandparents, paternal and maternal. Separation affects the kids badly and hence Dharamji feels if the marriage can be saved they should."
