Actor Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani recently announced that they have decided to separate after 11 years of marriage. The couple had met as teenagers in school and dated for a long time before tying the knot. However, Esha was in shock when she got married and moved in with Bharat's joint family. 

In her book Amma Mia, published in 2020, Esha spoke about the changes in her life post her marriage. She said that she became more mature, and responsible after her wedding. “When we got married in 2012, there were many things that changed,” she wrote. “Of course, once I began living with his family, I couldn’t roam around the house in my shorts and ganjis like I used to,” she wrote but added that his family was “wonderful” who “took me into their fold effortlessly.”
