Esha Deol admits that love and romance are something she is “currently missing” in her life, while revealing that her faith in relationships is firmly rooted in the example set by her parents, veteran stars Hema Malini and Dharmendra.Speaking on Carly Tales, Esha described herself as a hopeless romantic despite experiencing heartbreak and personal setbacks.“I think love and romance are the most important things in a person’s life, which I am currently missing. I love being romantic. I am a complete rom-com person. I love love songs and I love love stories,” she said.Asked if her idea of ​​love has changed over the years, especially after the breakup and end of her marriage to Bharat Takhtani, Esha said it hasn’t.“No, these things don’t change. Breakups happen. I’ve had boyfriends in the past who I’ve broken up with. These things happen, but that doesn’t diminish my ultimate sense of love,” she said.
‘We grew up seeing unconditional love’
The actress revealed that growing up watching her parents’ relationship shaped her expectations of love and companionship.“We all grew up seeing the unconditional love between Hema ji and Dharmendra ji,” shared Esha.Reflecting on their bond, she added, “There was dignity in it. There was respect in it and there was unconditional love. We all love Dharmendra ji so much. I don’t know how I kept myself together today. I mean, I love him and he is in my heart.” Esha also spoke fondly about the values ​​instilled in her by Dharmendra, saying the most important lesson he taught her was to never compromise dignity and self-respect.“The best advice she gave me was always keep your dignity and self-respect. Those were the two words we always used,” she said, “and about the relationship between sisters, she always said that you should all have love and affection. Those words come at the right time and hit you.”
