In an interview with The Quint, Hema Malini had expressed how performing Parampara with her daughters, Esha Deol Takhtani and Ahana Deol Vohra was a beautiful moment for them. She had remarked, "Dance for me is devotion, meditation and also tradition. I perform Parampara with my daughters Esha and Aahana Deol and that is the most beautiful moment for all of us because it is carrying forward a tradition. My daughters understand that art has to be pursued and nourished. The fulfillment I experience after a dance show cannot be compared to the experience of a film."
Looks like the little Deol-Takhtani girls, Radhya Takhtani and Miraya Takhtani will also be following their grandmother, Hema Malini, mother, Esha Deol and maasi, Ahana Deol's footsteps. Revealing how Radhya and Miraya have already began their journeys as dancer, Esha had once stated in an interview with the ETimes, "Mom and I would rehearse around 4 pm in our salwar kurtas and Radhya would be ready before us, in the same attire, with the dupatta tied in exactly the same way. She is eager to learn dance and during every rehearsal she was doing her own thing. As for Miraya, she can already recite the classical taal. In our family, there is no escaping dancing."
