New Delhi:
Dhoom actress Esha Deol recently revealed in an interview that her father Dharmendra wanted her to get married at 18 instead of going into films. He said, “He didn’t want me to take part in films. He was legitimately orthodox because he was a Punjabi, so he wanted me to get married and settle down at 18 because that was his condition, that’s where he comes from. The women in his family were brought up like that way. But my upbringing was very different at home, my mother’s acting in films and her dancing gave me direction. It was ingrained in me that I wanted to do something.
“It took a long time to convince him, it wasn’t easy, but today is a different story,” he added.
Esha Deol is the daughter of Hema Malin and Dharmendra. The veteran stars also have another daughter Ahana Deol.
On the personal front, Esha Deol and her husband, businessman Bharat Takhtani, announced their separation in February. They released a joint statement that read: “We have mutually and amicably decided to separate. With this change in our lives, the well-being and well-being of our two children remains of the utmost importance. We kindly ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”
Esha Deol was last seen in Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega alongside Suniel Shetty and Barkha Bishti.
