Esha Deol has opened up about her separation from Bharat Takhtani. Recently, Hema Malini’s actress daughter was speaking to the YouTube channel Mamaraazzi, when she explained why labels like “single mother” don’t define her experience.
“I don’t like to think of myself as a single mother because I don’t behave like one nor do I let the other person behave that way with me,” Esha said.
Esha then talked about her equation with Bharat when it comes to coparenting their children. She mentioned that when two people decide to separate, they must maturely understand the situation and focus on their children’s well-being.
“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 you, especially when you have children, the two mature individuals must take it upon them to work out in another dynamic but keep the unit together for the sake of the children. And that’s exactly what Bharat and I do,” she added.
