She said, "I was in Jamnabai Narsee School, and Bharat was studying at Learner’s Academy in Bandra. That was one school that had good-looking boys in Bandra.

Marriage and kids

Esha Deol says Bharat felt 'Neglected' after their 2nd Baby was born
In 2020, Esha Deol wrote a book titled Amma Mia: Stories, Advice, and Recipes from One Mother to Another. According to News18, she wrote about how Bharat felt 'neglected' after their second daughter was born .
She wrote: “After my second baby, for a short while, I noticed that Bharat was cranky and irritated with me." She added, "He felt that I wasn’t giving him enough attention. It is very natural for a husband to feel this way because, at that time, I was consumed with Radhya’s playschool fiasco and feeding Miraya, and I was also between writing my book and dealing with my production meetings. So, he felt neglected."
Esha then wrote that she noticed her mistakes. She also recalled an incident when Bharat asked her for a new toothbrush, or when his shirts hadn't been pressed, or what was in lunch for him. She further called him a "man of very few needs" and said that there "was something wrong" if she couldn't take care of him. "I quickly made sure to rectify it… I figured that I hadn’t gone out for date nights or a movie with him in a while. So I decided to step out of my tracks, loosen my bun, wear a nice dress, and go out with him on the weekends", she added.
In an earlier interview with Filmfare, Bharat that he doesn't like arguments while Esha has a habit of repeating things. However, he stated that he is always the one who is sorting things out. He also said that she is the more possessive one among the two.
