She also said that their preferences are quite similar, and he understands her without her saying anything. In an interview with BT, she revealed that she gets emotional when it is about her father and admitted to being ‘extremely possessive’ of him.
The Dhoom actor further revealed that Dharmendra originally resisted her decision to enter Bollywood. She, while talking about it, shared, "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."
The actress attributed her decision to begin working at the age of 18 and become financially independent to her family's female strength. She said that she grew up in a family full of strong women, including her grandmother, aunt, cousins, and mother Hema Malini. Many of the women around her are strong-willed and goal-oriented. So the fact that she opted to start working and being financially independent at the age of 18 stems from there.
Esha wants to carry on the tradition and has determined not to meddle with her children's future decisions. "I won't interfere in the decisions my children make in terms of their professional choices but will only encourage them and be a strong pillar of support for them. The way my grandmother was with my mother," the actress added.
For the unversed, Esha Deol was last seen in the series ‘Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega’. On the other hand, Dharmendra was most recently seen in ‘Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’. The Kaeran Johar directorial also stars Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan in pivotal roles.
