Esha Deol: Finding Harmony After Separation
Esha Deol on Life After Separation
Over a year since announcing her separation from Bharat Takhtani, actress Esha Deol is speaking openly about their new dynamic as co-parents. In a recent video interview on the YouTube channel Mamaraazzi, Esha addressed the common label of ‘single mother’ and shared her approach to navigating this new chapter.
‘Not a Single Mom, But a Co-Parenting Team’
When asked about her experience as a single mom to her two daughters, Radhya (born 2017) and Miraya (born 2019), Esha was quick to clarify, saying, “I don’t like to think of myself as a single mother because I don’t behave like one nor do I let the other person behave that way with me. It’s just that in life, sometimes, due to certain things, roles change. And if it doesn’t work out in a certain equation of what two people were at one point, you must take it upon you, especially when you have children, the two mature individuals must take it upon them to work out in another dynamic but keep the unit together for the sake of the children. And that’s exactly what Bharat and I do.”
Balancing Work and Family
Esha also highlighted the importance of time management in her new routine. She confessed, “Because without it, if your schedule goes for a toss, it creates guilt and there is mismanagement…For instance, if one day, I have to shoot for 10 or 12 hours, I try and spend at least 4 hours with my daughters with complete dedication. On an off day, I spend the entire day with my kids. I do things that they enjoy so they feel satisfied and fulfilled that I am giving them 100 percent attention. I meet my friends less, I go out less because that the only way to balance it.”
