Esha Deol often shares sweet throwback pictures with her dad Dharmendra on social media. The actress, who recently returned to acting with two web series – Rudra and Hunter: Tootega Nahin Todega – has often said that she and her father are alike in temperament.

“We are quite attached and share almost everything. Our choices are quite similar. He understands me without me saying much. I get very emotional when it comes to him and am extremely possessive of him,” she shared in a recent interview with BT, adding, “On a lighter note, I am his professional online shopper. He loves online shopping, and I do that for him.”

Interestingly, if Esha faced resistance to her decision to join Bollywood, it was from her father. She reasoned, “It comes from him being an orthodox Punjabi male; they are known to be very protective of the women in their families. This is sort of a way of showing how protective he is and nothing else. Time takes its own course, and everything falls into place eventually.”
