After much speculation, Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani have officially announced their separation. The couple, who exchanged vows on June 29, 2012, have decided to pursue separate paths in life. Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani’s love story began in high school, where they met during an inter-school competition. Esha fondly recalled how she discreetly shared her phone number with Bharat on a piece of tissue paper during their first encounter.
Their relationship evolved over the years from innocent school crushes to a deeper connection as they both reached adulthood. Despite briefly losing touch when Esha pursued her career in films, fate brought them back together in their adult lives. A decade after their initial romance, Esha and Bharat reunited during Esha’s trip to the US, thanks to a thoughtful intervention by Esha’s sister, Ahana Deol. Ahana played a crucial role in reconnecting them, informing Bharat of Esha’s presence in the city, which reignited their affection.
In a joint statement, Esha and Bharat announced their decision to separate, emphasising their mutual respect and concern for the well-being of their two children. They requested privacy during this transition period.
