Esha Deol shares mother’s advice on romance and independence

Esha Deol, the actress and daughter of Hema Malini, shared insights about life lessons from her mother in a recent interview. Esha, who is promoting her new film "Tumko Meri Kasam," spoke to The Quint about the importance of self-identity. Hema Malini advised Esha to maintain her independence, especially after marriage. Esha emphasized that every mother wants her daughter to have a strong sense of self. She quoted her mother’s words about working hard to build a name and a profession and how that should be maintained. Esha also highlighted another message from her mother about romance. She believes that having romantic feelings is crucial and described it as something that brings joy and excitement. However, Esha admitted that she has not yet acted on this romantic advice. The separation news between Esha and her husband, Bharat Takhtani, surfaced earlier in February after over 11 years of marriage. They have two daughters together. Esha's film "Tumko Meri Kasam," which is inspired by Dr. Ajay Murdia's life, releases in theaters today. The cast includes notable actors like Anupam Kher and Adah Sharma.
