Bollywood actress Esha Deol has returned to the big screen with the film Tumko Meri Kasam, marking her comeback after a 14-year hiatus. Known for several successful films in the early 2000s, Esha is the daughter of veteran actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini.
Bollywood Debut and Career Highlights
Esha began her acting career in 2002 with Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe. She gained popularity through films like Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and LOC: Kargil (2003), which established her as a promising actress. Over time, however, her career saw a decline with a series of less successful films. She has acted in over 34 films.
Break from Acting After Marriage
Esha married her school friend Bharat Takhtani and later took a break from acting to focus on family life. The couple has two children. This break led to her long absence from films.
Comeback After Divorce
Recently, Esha Deol confirmed her divorce from Bharat Takhtani. In a recent interview, she shared her perspective on motherhood and post-divorce life. She stated, "After becoming a parent, you cannot make every decision alone. The happiness of children comes first, even before ego."
Family Legacy in Bollywood
Esha comes from a renowned film family. Her father Dharmendra was a leading actor for decades, while her mother Hema Malini was one of the top actresses of her time. The two were paired in many hit films, including Sholay, and later married. Dharmendra has four children from two marriages: Sunny and Bobby Deol from his first marriage, and Esha and Ahana Deol from his marriage with Hema Malini.
