Do you know that Esha and Bharat renewed their wedding vows in 2017? During Esha Deol’s godh bharai ceremony, she remarried her husband, Bharat, in a traditional way at the ISKCON temple in Mumbai. From Tel Kumkum ceremony to saath pheras, every ritual was followed. Speaking about the same in an interaction with Pinkvilla, Esha stated:
“It was a wonderful ceremony with just Bharat's and my families in attendance. Everyone present performed the 'tel kumkum'. As part of the rituals, Bharat and I took three pheras around the fire. I joked with Bharat that he was stuck with me again."
For their second wedding, Esha donned a pink-coloured custom-made lehenga from the shelves of designer Neeta Lulla. The Anarkali featured gold motifs all over it, and she teamed it with a red-coloured dupatta. She accessorised her look with Kundan jewellery, which comprised a heavy necklace, matching earrings, bangles, nath and maang teeka. With glossy lips, bindi and kohl-rimmed eyes, she completed her look. On the other hand, Bharat opted for a white-hued kurta-pyjama.
Esha and Bharat followed Sindhi as well as South Indian rituals for the wedding ceremony. It was a grand event hosted by Esha’s family and was attended by Jaya Bachchan, Madhu and other eminent guests and family friends. In October 2017, Bharat and Esha welcomed a baby girl, whom they named, Radhya and two years later, the couple embraced parenthood again and welcomed their second daughter, Miraya.
Ever since Esha and Bharat got married, the couple has been posting mushy pictures with each other on their respective social media handles. However, the duo stopped posting anything about one another and even stopped making public appearances as well. On top of it, Bharat’s absence during Hema Malini’s grand 75th birthday bash also added fuel to the fire.
