Bollywood actress Esha Deol's father, Dharmendra, never wanted her to act in films. The actress shared the real reason behind this.
Bollywood actress, Esha Deol is all set to restart her film career. She is the daughter of famous superstars, Dharmendra and Hema Malini. For Esha to come out of her parents' star image and create her own fanbase wasn't easy, but she was adamant about making it big in the films. She was hailed as the glamorous girl with her performance in Dhoom. However, Bollywood knows that Esha's father, Dharmendra, wasn't in favour of her joining films, but she was rigid and wanted to be the heroine of hit films.
Recently, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Esha Deol revealed the reason behind her father, Dharmendra not allowing her to be a heroine in the Hindi film industry. She said that she wanted to join movies, but she found it difficult to convince her father about the same. Esha stated that it was because he was protective as a male, but she didn't understand it as she wanted to fly. Esha was quoted as saying:
"My dad. Not because of anything else, but because he is more protective as a male, and he wanted to keep us more private. I was, on the other hand, all excited and ready to fly."

Last year, in an interview with the Bombay Times, Esha Deol was questioned why Dharmendra didn't want her to appear in films. The gorgeous actress shared that the decision was made by the orthodox Punjabi male, who is extremely protective of the women in his family. She added that it was his way of showing protectiveness and nothing else. Esha further shared that with time, everything fells into place.
In an old interview with her mother, Hema Malini, from Simi Garewal's show, made rounds on the internet. In the video, Hema Malini revealed that Dharmendra would like their daughters, Esha and Ahana, to dress up in salwar kameez. She further shared that their daughters deck themselves up in salwar kameez whenever their father come home. Hema's daughter also joined the interview, and in the edited video, Esha talked about her decision to join films. The then-young Esha revealed she would make Dharmendra accept it slowly. Otherwise, he would get angry.
The then-seventeen-year-old, Esha also revealed that her father always tells them to sit at home. He called his upbringing Punjabi type and added that he is possessive about them. Esha further added that they are not allowed to go out that often.
