Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani became parents to baby girl Radhya in October last year. As Hema Malini and Dharmendra's daughter is set to make her comeback with Hindi short feature film, 'Cakewalk', the actress is also ready to talk about how motherhood changed her life.
On Monday morning, Esha shared an aww-dorable picture of her six month old baby girl, Radhya looking in to the cameras and posing like a pro. In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Esha also revealed that how her daughter is exactly like her. She said, “Radhya is a happy baby unless forced to do something she doesn’t want to do. She’s very much my daughter and there are times when she gives me that Deol look with one eyebrow raised and I feel that I’m looking at myself in the mirror.”
Esha and Bharat tied the knot in June 2012 and became parents after enjoying five years of togetherness. Esha is happy to have the strong support system of her mother Hema Malini and her sister Ahana guiding her through motherhood as well. She still remembers her parents' reaction when they found out about her pregnancy. She told Mumbai daily, “For three months, I kept my pregnancy a secret. When I finally told my mother she said she’d known all along, she was a mother too,”She further said, “For a long time she was supposed to arrive on my birthday, November 2, but eventually came a day after Diwali much to Bharat’s relief as he didn’t want another Scorpio in his life. Now, there are three Librans — my mother, husband and daughter — to balance me out.”
Esha Deol is back to work and is learning how to balance her work and personal time with baby Radhya. Not just acting in a short film, Esha will also be seen playing Sita in the dance ballet Ramayan. She told Mumbai Mirror, “At the moment she sits on the sofa and watches me during rehearsals, the way I’d watch my mother as a child. That’s how I know every ballet by heart but it’s still a huge responsibility playing Sita, the ideal wife and mother. I was unnerved when I saw my in-laws in the audience at the first performance at Iskcon as they weren’t expected. But it went well and now the role comes with a ‘feel good’ factor."
