Esha, reminiscing about their initial meeting, revealed that she attended Jamnabai Narsee School while Bharat studied at Learner’s Academy in Bandra.
It was during the inter-school event named Cascade that they first encountered each other. Esha fondly recalled passing her phone number to Bharat on a piece of tissue during this encounter, marking the beginning of their romantic journey.
Despite initial challenges, including Esha’s braces, which she sported at the time, Bharat’s affection remained unwavering.
Their love story endured college years that led to a brief separation, only to rekindle a decade later.
Esha Deol, known for her notable roles in films such as “Na Tum Jaano Na Hum,” “Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa,” “Hijack,” and “Pyare Mohan,” recently made her debut in the digital streaming space with Ajay Devgn’s “Rudra: The Edge of Darkness.”
As Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani confirm separation after 12 years of marriage, the news of their separation comes as a surprise to many fans, who had admired the couple’s enduring bond over the years.
