You could say Esha is ready to be romantic once more. She’ll be the first to tell you she is “currently missing” that kind of connection. In a recent sit-down with Curly Tales, the actor made no bones about her fondness for the way things used to be, putting in a good word for the kind of love she saw in her parents, Hema and Dharmendra.
A romantic heart that refuses to dim
There was no PR spin to what Esha had to say. She put it plainly: she’s a rom-com at heart, one who gets off on a good love song and a happy ending. And without it, she admitted, you can feel the void.
A breakup or two won’t change the make-up of who she is. For her, the notion of love is still something to be held in high regard, even when you’ve been stung by it.
Some of the key points from her open conversation:
– She is ‘currently missing’ a bit of romance in her life.
– She’s a full-blown rom-com type of person.
Her view on love hasn’t wavered.
The split from Bharat was in 2024.
They have daughters together.
Raised on dignified love, taught to hold her head high
If you were to ask where this kind of outlook is rooted, Esha would take you back to her parents. She has seen the “unconditional love between Hema ji and Dharmendra ji” up close, and to her, it is a model of respect and dignity.
She has a soft spot for her father, in more ways than one. “I love him and he is in my heart,” she said. He also left her with some words to live by: never let go of your self-respect. That has become her north star.
It’s not just about a couple, though. She recalls him talking up the bond between sisters, a piece of wisdom that “comes at the right time and hits you hard.”
Separation without spectacle, parenting with care
When there are kids in the mix, a separation is a private matter. Esha didn’t want to make a show of it, but being in the public eye means you have to be clear, if only in a measured way.
From 2012 to 2024, she and Bharat were married. Now they are co-parents to Radhya (2017) and Miraya (2019). Since they made the news of their split in 2024, they have kept things amicable.
It’s been a matter of treading carefully, with so many eyes on them. Her request of the public is a straightforward one: give the family some room to breathe.
A chapter closes, hope stays open
Put an end to a ten-year marriage and you might expect some jadedness from Esha. You wouldn’t find any. She doesn’t think a few hiccups in the road should water down what love is all about. She is very much open to it all over again.
That’s a stance worth noting for those who have seen a romance go sour. It shows you can have your boundaries and still be up for a little flutter in the chest.
Why her stance resonates now
Esha has a way of being traditional that is oddly of the moment. While some people don’t have time for the big gestures, she does, as long as there is some class to it. It doesn’t feel like she is putting on a show.
She has been through a lot of late. The loss of her father, Dharmendra, in 2025 was a hard time for the family. In the end, she goes back to what she was brought up with.
What comes next
More than anything, Esha is about being in tune with herself. She is making a life for her children and for herself, one that is true to the advice of her family and doesn’t rule out love.
For the fans, that’s the story. She may be in a place where she is without love, but she is not done with it.
