In a recent announcement, the separation of Bollywood actress Esha Deol and businessman Bharat Takhtani has stirred renewed interest in their private life. Despite their plea for “privacy and respect” amidst the separation, past interviews shedding light on the dynamics of their relationship have resurfaced on social media.
Amidst conflicting revelations, an older interview with Bharat Takhtani has gained attention, where he candidly discussed Esha’s allegedly “possessive behavior.” Speaking to Filmfare shortly after their wedding, Bharat revealed that Esha’s possessiveness surpassed his own, extending even to their children. He humorously mentioned that she wouldn’t allow the nurse to hold their baby, stating, “She holds onto me tightly. I’ve got to be guarded even when I am with my old friends. She’d be a possessive mother as well! Even the nurse wouldn’t be allowed to hold the baby.”
Esha Deol responded to Bharat’s remarks during the interview with a mix of jest and irritation, saying, “I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Amid the news of their separation, quotes from Esha’s book have surfaced, claiming that Bharat felt neglected after the birth of their second child.
The couple, who had been married for nearly 12 years, made headlines last week with their formal statement announcing their decision to part ways in a mutually respectful manner. Emphasizing their commitment to prioritizing the well-being of their two children, Esha and Bharat urged for privacy and respect during this transition.
