00:00 The daughter of veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra and the iconic dream girl Hema Malini, Isha
00:06 Deol often finds herself in the spotlight more for her personal life than her acting
00:12 career.
00:13 Recently, news surfaced regarding Isha Deol's marital status.
00:18 Several reports suggested that Isha and Bharat have separated, which explains their absence
00:24 from public appearances together.
00:26 Well, the couple has finally confirmed their separation after 12 years of marital bliss.
00:32 Yes, you heard that right.
00:35 In a joint statement, the duo disclosed that their decision was made keeping in mind the
00:40 well-being of their two children and they requested everyone to honour their privacy.
00:46 Announcing their separation, Isha and Bharat told Bombay Times, "We have mutually and amicably
00:51 decided to part ways.
00:53 Through this shift in our lives, the best interests and welfare of our two children
00:59 are and will be of utmost importance to us.
01:02 We would appreciate our privacy is respected."
01:06 For those unfamiliar, Isha Deol married businessman Bharat Daktani on June 29, 2012.
01:13 The couple had since then blessed with two daughters, Radhya and Miraya.
01:18 Isha Deol and Bharat Daktani regularly shared lovey-dovey posts for each other on social
01:24 media in the past, capturing attention with their romantic gestures.
01:29 However, in recent times, they have refrained from public appearances and have not been
01:34 seen together.
01:35 Bharat was notably absent from Hema Malini's 75th birthday celebration and Isha was observed
01:43 celebrating Diwali without him, a sudden change from their customs.
01:47 Last year, they also did not attend any Diwali parties together.
