Mumbai: Actress Esha Deol recently talked about how her relationship with her father, Dharmendra, has evolved over the years. In a past interview with Lehren TV, she shared that Dharmendra was a very strict parent when she was growing up, but their connection has since matured into a close friendship, making it stronger than ever before.
Esha spoke about working with Dharmendra in the film “Tell Me O Kkhuda.” She recalled that although she’s performed with her mother Hema Malini—doing stage dances and press interviews—this was the first time she acted beside her dad. Inside, she felt a rush of excitement and emotions, even though she tried to keep a calm front.
The “Dhoom” actress added, “That was a very sweet experience and for the first time, I see my mummy, at least we dance on stage and do interviews, but the first time with my father, to say a dialogue in front of him, from inside I was like this, but from outside I used to show that I am fine. But from inside there was a lot of emotional feeling that the day has come that I am doing it with my father.”
When asked which parent was stricter, Dharmendra or Hema Malini, she revealed that her dad was indeed very strict during her childhood. She noted that their relationship has since become deep and solid.
“Mummy is more strict. Papa used to be very strict earlier, but now there is a different friendship, bond is very strong between the two of us, so earlier papa used to be very strict, now he is not,” she explained.
“Tell Me O Kkhuda,” directed and produced by Hema Malini, features Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Farooq Sheikh, Esha Deol, and Arjan Bajwa. Salman Khan made a guest appearance. The movie marked the first time Esha Deol shared the screen with her father.
