Dharmendra was initially opposed to Esha’s decision to enter Bollywood.

Although Esha Deol doesn’t always openly express her affection for her father Dharmendra, she noted that they share a strong connection and maintain open communication. She revealed that their preferences often align, and he understands her even without extensive explanations.

Esha frequently posts about her relationship with her father, actor Dharmendra, and her mother, actress Hema Malini, on social media, sharing heartfelt moments.

“This is a form of indicating how caring he is and nothing else. With time, things naturally fall into the right place,” she said.

Esha Deol recognized that her decision to start her career at the age of 18 and achieve financial autonomy was shaped by the influential women in her family. She noted that her upbringing took place in an environment where girl power was highly prominent, with her grandmother, aunt, cousins, and mother being significant examples. She said, “A lot of women around us are very strong-headed and work-oriented.”

Esha also stated that she intends to uphold her family’s legacy and has chosen not to interfere in her children’s choices. “Want to only encourage them and be a strong pillar of support for them. The way my grandmother was with my mother,” the actress said.

Esha Deol’s most recent appearance was in a short film named “Ek Duaa,” whereas Dharmendra’s latest role was in Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” alongside Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and more.
