Mumbai: Bollywood’s Diwali celebrations brought plenty of glamorous moments, but one former couple’s appearance has caught everyone’s attention. Esha Deol and her ex husband, businessman Bharat Takhtani, stepped out together for a festive bash, putting their equation back in the spotlight.
The two, who announced their separation in February 2024 after over 11 years of marriage, attended a Diwali party in Mumbai on November 7. Their appearance comes after Bharat went public with his relationship with entrepreneur Meghna Lakhani last year.
Esha and Bharat pose together
In the video circulating on social media, Esha and Bharat are seen standing together and smiling for the paparazzi before heading inside. The actress wore a pastel pink saree with an embellished border, while Bharat opted for a cream bandhgala.
This is not the first time the former couple has been seen together since their split. Earlier this year, Bharat joined Esha and her friends for a Sunday lunch. Actress Smriti Khanna shared a photograph from the gathering, which also featured Jackky Bhagnani and other friends.
Bharat’s relationship with Meghna Lakhani
Their latest outing has drawn further interest because Bharat introduced his relationship with Dubai based entrepreneur Meghna Lakhani on Instagram in August 2025.
Sharing pictures from their Madrid holiday, he wrote, “Welcome to my family,” alongside the hashtag “#itsofficial.” While his appearances with Esha have prompted curiosity about their bond, posing together at a celebration does not establish a romantic reconciliation.
Their daughters remain the priority
Esha and Bharat married in June 2012 and share two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. When announcing their separation, the two said they had mutually decided to part ways and would continue to prioritise their children’s welfare.
Esha has also spoken about maintaining a united front as parents. In an interview with The Quint, she explained that a change in the relationship between a husband and wife should not affect their children’s wellbeing. Their appearances together are consistent with the cordial equation they have maintained since separating.
