A post shared by Esha Deol Takhtani (@imeshadeol)

A couple of days after Karan Deol's wedding, Esha Deol penned a congratulatory post for her nephew on his big day. She wrote, “Congratulations Karan and Drisha. Wishing you both a lifetime of togetherness and happiness. Lots of love.”

Dharmendra and Hema Malini's relationship

Dharmendra tied the knot with Hema Malini back in 1980. However, he was already married to Prakash Kaur at the time and even had four children — Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta, and Ajeeta.

Dharmendra's first family also was missing from sisters Esha and Ahana Deol's weddings in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The two families have never made any social appearances together.

Esha Deol mentioned in Hema Malini's biography, Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl, that she ties a rakhi to half-brothers Sunny and Bobby Deol every year. She added that she looks up to Sunny Deol as a “father figure.” The actress revealed that she knows that the world talks about their relationships in different ways, but the Deol family members do not wish to show off their relationships.
