Bollywood actress Esha Deol and her former husband, Bharat Takhtani, were recently spotted together, sparking renewed interest in their post-divorce relationship. The couple, who announced their separation in early 2024 after eleven years of marriage, reunited for a "Family Sunday" outing.
Bharat Takhtani shared a candid picture on his social media account from their Sunday outing at a Mumbai restaurant. He captioned the image "Family Sunday" accompanied by a heart emoji. This public display of togetherness comes after their divorce, signaling a continued amicable relationship, particularly for the sake of their two daughters, Radhya and Miraya.
Esha Deol, daughter of veteran actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini, married businessman Bharat Takhtani on June 29, 2012, in a traditional ceremony in Mumbai. Their wedding was a high-profile event attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities and prominent business figures. Their love story, which reportedly began in their teenage years, was often seen as an example of a long-lasting romance.
However, in February 2024, Esha and Bharat announced their decision to part ways, citing incompatibility and growing differences as the reasons for their separation. Despite the divorce, both have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their daughters.
In June 2025, on Father's Day, Esha shared a photo featuring Bharat alongside her father, Dharmendra, underscoring their mutual respect and commitment to maintaining a united family dynamic for their children. In an earlier interview, Esha spoke about how they co-parent, emphasizing that even though roles change, the focus should remain on keeping the family unit together for the children's sake.
Esha had stated, "It's just that in life, sometimes, due to certain things, roles change. And if it doesn't work out in a certain equation of what two people were at one point, you must take it upon yourself, especially when you have children. The two mature individuals must take it upon themselves to work out another dynamic but keep the unit together for the sake of the children. And that's exactly what Bharat and I do".
The recent "Family Sunday" reunion further exemplifies their dedication to this approach. It indicates that Esha and Bharat are successfully navigating their post-divorce relationship while prioritizing their children's well-being. This public appearance sends a positive message about co-parenting and maintaining familial bonds even after separation.
