Baby No. 2 for Esha Deol and businessman-husband Bharat Takhtani

Esha Deol and businessman-husband Bharat Takhtani who became parents to daughter Radhya in October 20, 2017, are now expecting a second child. “Both of us definitely wanted another baby as we grew up with siblings and wanted the same fun company for Radhya. The timing happened by the grace of God,” the actress told Mirror.

When quizzed about how the two families, including her mother Hema Malini and papa Dharmendra have reacted to the news, the mom-to-be laughed, “All the four grandparents are excited, for them the more the merrier.”

Last time around the couple had gone to Greece for a babymoon which included a special photo-session to chronicle this momentous occasion in their lives with some picture-perfect moments to look back on with a smile. Are they planning a similar vacation this time around? “I don’t think I can call it a babymoon the second time around as I can’t go anywhere without my baby. I will take Radhya with me everywhere I go so let’s just call it a family vacation for Bharat, Radhya and me whenever we plan to travel,” Esha pointed out.

The actress recently returned to work, acting in a short film, and taking over from mom Hema as Sita in the dance ballet Ramayan. Will she continue to work on stage and in film after learning that she’s pregnant? “The ballet is still going on as planned. And I will resume my professional commitments after my second child is born, the way I did after Radhya entered our lives. It’s all about balancing work and personal life as I have certain responsibilities as wife and mother while also being passionate about my work,” she reasoned, admitting that she’s being extremely selective about what she takes up at this point in her life. “For now, I’m loving every bit of being a mother hen, inside out.”
