Bharat felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention: Esha

It falls on you to keep the romance alive: Esha

I hadn’t gone out for date nights or a movie with him in a while: Esha

Actress Esha Deol and Businessman Bharat Takhtani separated after a period of 12 years. Although the reason seems unclear at the moment and the issuance of a joint statement indicates that the marriage ended on amicable terms, a book written by Esha Deol in 2020 titled “Amma Mia” offers glimpses of their marriage. “After my second baby, for a short while, I noticed that Bharat was cranky and irritated with me. He felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention. It is very natural for a husband to feel this way because at that time, I was consumed with Radhya’s playschool fiasco and feeding Miraya, and I was also between writing my book and dealing with my production meetings. So, he felt neglected. 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,’ Esha mentioned in the book. 

The book suggests that the romance post marriage was different for the couple. “There may be men who are not so forthcoming. It falls on you to keep the romance alive. I figured that I hadn’t gone out for date nights or a movie with him in a while. So I decided to step out of my tracks, loosen my bun, wear a nice dress and go out with him on the weekends,” Esha wrote in the book.
