The source further added that Esha’s mother, Hema Malini is in support of her daughter's divorce and does not want to talk about it. The veteran actress has always been with her daughter and will continue to do so, but she would not meddle in her personal life. The insider added:
“She is certainly not commenting on her daughter’s decision to divorce her husband. It is Esha’s life and Hemaji will not meddle. She never has. She is with her daughter now, as she has always been. But Hemaji is not accountable for her daughter’s actions.”
In 2020, Esha Deol penned a book titled Amma Mia: Stories, Advice and Recipes from One Mother to Another, and an extract from the same is going viral on the internet. The particular piece talked about how Esha's businessman-husband, Bharat felt neglected after the birth of their second daughter. Miraya. She wrote:
“After my second baby, for a short while, I noticed that Bharat was cranky and irritated with me. He felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention. It is very natural for a husband to feel this way because at that time, I was consumed with Radhya’s playschool fiasco and feeding Miraya, and I was also between writing my book and dealing with my production meetings. So, he felt neglected."
