New Delhi: Esha Deol and her husband Bharat Takhtani announced their separation earlier in February. Esha's father, veteran actor Dharmendra, is reportedly upset over the couple's decision to end their marriage, which is why he wants Esha and Bharat to "reconsider getting separated," according to a report in Bollywood Life.
Dharmendra on Esha Deol's divorce
Although Dharmendra reportedly agrees with Esha Deol's decision, he feels that the divorce will negatively impact Esha and Bharat's daughters, Radhya and Miraya.
A source told the portal, "No parents can be happy seeing their children’s family being broken. Even Dharmendra ji is a father and one can understand his pain. It’s not that he is against his daughter’s decision to get separated but wants her to rethink over it."
The source added, "Esha and Bharat both respect Dharmendra immensely. He is like a son to the Deol family, while Esha is the apple of the eye of father Dharmendra and he wants her to be happy always. As her family is getting hooked, he is indeed sad, and that’s the reason he wants them to reconsider getting separated. Esha and Bharat have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. They are very close to their grandparents, paternal and maternal. Separation affects the kids badly and hence Dharamji feels if the marriage can be saved they should."
