Esha Deol’s writings on her failing marriage resurface after separation

Esha Deol’s shocking split from husband Bharat Takhtani has led to the resurfacing of a snippet from her 2020 book, Amma Mia, where she calls him growing “cranky” and “irritated” after the birth of their second child.

In her book, Esha wrote, “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.”

She recalled those moments when she couldn’t find the time to iron his shirts, had forgotten that he asked for a new toothbrush, and had sent him off to work without checking his lunch box.

“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,” Esha added.

Saying that Bharat would straightforwardly tell her if something is wrong, the Na Tum Jaano Na Hum star blamed herself for killing the romance between them.

“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,” she concluded.

Esha married Bharat in 2012 and almost totally disappeared from the big screen. However, the two announced their separation on February 6, after 12 years of being together.
