In a previous interview with Bollywood Bubble, Esha Deol opened up on the kind of bonding she has always shared with her mother, Hema Malini. The diva highlighted an unheard anecdote from her life to elaborate more. Esha mentioned how, during the shooting of one of her films, her co-star fell in love with her, and proposed to her for marriage. However, the person levied one condition for them to be together, and that was for Esha to leave her acting career. Mentioning how her mom, Hema Malini reacted to it all, she mentioned:
“I had just started out and he said ‘Will get married, stop acting’. I did not know what to do. I came home and told my mom and she was like so sweet.”
Despite being such a phenomenal actress, Hema Malini’s personal life has not been without a fair share of trials and tribulations. For the unversed, Hema got married to the love of her life, Dharmendra, while the latter was still married to his first wife, Prakash Kaur. Reportedly, the duo had eloped together and converted to a different faith in order to tie the knot. Fast forward to today, Dharmendra shares a beautiful bond with both his families. In one of her earlier interviews with Lehren Retro, Hema shared how despite having a distant household from her husband, Dharmendra has always been worried about their daughters, Esha and Ahana to be married off well in their lives.
