New Delhi: After eleven years of marriage, Esha Deol and her husband Bharat Takhtani announced their split recently. After getting married in 2012, the pair declared their intention to part ways "amicably." Before being married, Esha and Bharat shared a long relationship since they had first met in high school as youngsters. The two got married after beginning a courtship in their 20s. But when Esha married and moved into Bharat's joint family home, she was in for a surprise.

Remembering that period of time, Esha wrote in her 2020 book ‘Amma Mia’ that she grew more “mature, responsible” after being married. “When we got married in 2012, there were many things that changed,” she wrote.

Esha revealed that she had to make several lifestyle changes after moving into his home with his family, including being unable to spend the entire day in shorts.

“Of course, once I began living with his family, I couldn’t roam around the house in my shorts and ganjis like I used to,” she wrote but added that his family was “wonderful” who “took me into their fold effortlessly.” 

She revealed that, prior to meeting Bharat, she "had never cooked a single thing," while all the women in the Takhtani household packed "delicious khane a dabbas for their husbands." Esha expressed her gratitude to her mother-in-law, saying, “She never insisted that I enter the kitchen or do any of the orthodox things she had been made to do as a bahu.” 

She also added, “In fact, she always tells me that I am like her third son (after Bharat and his brother). And since I was the first bahu in the house, I was pampered rotten. Someone was always sending me chocolate brownies and fruit and cream.”
