Esha Deol’s old post on wedding anniversary goes viral
The rumours of Bharat and Esha’s divorce began last year when the former was absent from Hema Malini’s 75th birthday bash where the entire family, all the friends and colleagues from the film and the political worlds were in attendance. He was also not a part of Esha’s birthday bash. However, in June last year, the actor shared a lovely post for him wishing him the best on their 11th wedding anniversary. She posted a throwback photo of them cuddling each other and wrote, “For keeps for eternity ♥️🧿 @bharattakhtani3 #weddinganniversary #11 gratitude ♥️ (sic).”
Earlier in 2020, Esha released a book about her journey as a wife and a mother and talked about the time when Bharat felt ‘neglected’ by her. She wrote how after the birth of their second daughter, she became so busy that she couldn’t spare time for him. Esha, in her book titled ‘Amma Mia’, wrote about not paying attention to what food was Bharat taking to the office and if his clothes were ironed or not. She also mentioned how she couldn’t go out with him on date nights and later made it a point to ‘rectify’ all of that.

“And I immediately noticed the error of my ways. I remembered the times when Bharat had asked me for a new toothbrush, and it had slipped my mind, or when his shirts hadn’t been pressed or when I sent him off to work without bothering to check what he’d been given for lunch. He’s a man of very few needs, and if I couldn’t look after him, there was something wrong. I quickly made sure to rectify it (sic),” she wrote in the book.
