Hema Malini and Dharamendra's elder daughter Esha Deol, who married Bharat Takhtani five years ago at Juhu's ISKCON temple, is expecting her first baby any time end of October 2017. Esha did a special photoshoot with her father Dharmendra last week, and has shared some exclusive memories on him and her pregnancy for the first time. Esha says, "This is a special picture for me because, any picture with my dad is special. This is another picture which was clicked impromptu during another photoshoot that I was doing at home and dad just walked in. He was already very well-dressed in a suit so I told him, 'Come on, you look ready for a picture. So let's get this clicked'."

Esha reveals that her husband Bharat and she informed their parents Hema and Dharam and the Takhtanis the news of her pregnancy at the same time. "When my pregnancy got confirmed, Bharat and I first broke the news to my parents, and around the same time, after 12 weeks was when our parents got to know. Papa is a man of few words. He expresses more so just that look of content in his eyes said a lot. It was more than enough to know that he was relaxed and happy to know that he is going to be a granddad again. At this point in our lives, at this age, I can say that my dad and I are best friends. There are things that he tells me and I tell him. We both have always got each other’s back. That's something special we share as father and daughter."

Any advice her father gives her? Esha says, "Dad keeps telling me 'Listen to your mom and mom-in-law'. They will guide you the best. And now that I am pregnant, he keeps asking me if I am having right food at right time."

Esha earlier had two godh bharais in August – the South Indian one Valaikaapu organized by Hema at their Juhu residence and another, according to Sindhi traditions which was performed by Esha’s mother-in-law Puja Takhtani at the ISKCON temple in Juhu again, which was attended by Dimple Kapadia and Jaya Bachchan. Esha had earlier said that Bharat and she keep shuffling between Bandra (where they stay) to Hema’s bungalow in Juhu, as the distance is not much.
