Actor Esha Deol, the daughter of Bollywood stars Hema Malini and Dharmendra, has learned some important life lessons from her mother. She has understood the value of being financially independent as a woman and why she should keep romance alive in her life, even after a divorce.

Esha Deol and her former husband, Bharat Takhtani, got divorced in 2024.

Esha shared her mother Hema Malini’s advice about romance with ‘The Quint’. She said, “My mom once told me that we do so many things in life, like working and taking care of ourselves. But she said one thing that’s really important and should never be forgotten is romance. Romance gives you that special feeling, like butterflies in your stomach, and we all want that. I remember her advice, but I haven’t done anything about it yet.”

Esha also shared her mother Malini’s advice about financial independence. She said, “Always be financially independent, even if you are married to a millionaire. Having your own money makes women feel and be different,” the Dhoom actress shared.

The actress said that her mother has always taught her to keep her own identity, even after getting married.

Hema Malini’s Advice On Maintaining Independence

Esha remembered her mother, Hema Malini, telling her, “For daughters, it’s very important to have your own identity, even after marriage. You’ve worked hard, made a name for yourself, and have a profession. Even if you haven’t become famous, your profession is important. Never stop doing it. Always keep working.”

Esha Deol separated from her husband of 11 years, Bharat Takhtani, in 2024. They have two daughters, Radhya, 7, and Miraya, 5.
