"He wants her to be happy always."
Dharmendra reportedly wants his daughter Esha Deol to reconcile with her estranged husband Bharat Takhtani.
The veteran actor is very close to the former couple and was extremely sad when they announced their separation after over 11 years of marriage.
While Dharmendra is not against Esha’s decision, sources say that he is worried for her children.
Esha and Bharat have two daughters together – Radhya and Miraya. They were born in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
As per Bollywood Life, the Sholay actor wishes for Esha to rethink her decision:
“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 it.
“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 Dharam Ji feels if the marriage can be saved, they should.”
In February 2024, Esha and Bharat confirmed their separation, saying it was a mutual decision.
An official statement read: “We have mutually and amicably decided to part ways.
“Through this shift in our lives, the best interests and welfare of our two children is and will be of utmost importance to us.
“We’d appreciate our privacy is respected.”
Although Esha celebrated her wedding anniversary with Bharat in 2023, speculations about a rift between the couple arose when Bharat was not seen at Hema Malini’s birthday party.
He was notably absent at Esha’s birthday celebrations too.
In her parenting book Amma Mia (2020), Esha wrote that Bharat felt neglected after the birth of their second daughter:
“After my second baby, for a short while, I noticed that Bharat was cranky and irritated with me.”
“He felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention.
“So, he felt neglected. And I immediately noticed the error of my ways.”
On the work front, the Chupke Chupke star was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024).
Dharmendra also won hearts with his role as Kanwal Lund in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023).
