Esha Deol welcomes second baby girl

Esha Deol and husband Bharat Takhtani, who walked down the aisle in 2012, have become parents for the second time. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in October 2017, and today the duo welcomed their second baby girl.

Esha Deol confirmed the great news on her social media platform. If her latest social media post on Instagram is anything to go by, the couple has named their second daughter Miraya Takhtani. “Thank you very much for the love and blessings,” wrote the actress.


The Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe (2002) actress also uploaded an image on her account, which read, “Welcome to our tribe. Baby girl Miraya Takhtani. Born on June 10, 2019. Big sister Radhya. Proud parents Esha and Bharat.”

In her previous interview, Esha Deol said that her elder daughter, Radhya, was quite psyched up about having a younger sibling. “There are times she comes and kisses my stomach. Bharat and I would ask her ‘come and say hi to baby’. She’ll come and say ‘Hi! Baby’ and will touch and kiss my stomach. When I ask her where the baby is, she ends up lifting her own top and touching her stomach. That’s cute!” she said.

Hema Malini and Dharmendra, who have become grandparents once again, were spotted today at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai as they visited daughter Esha Deol who became mother for the second time.

Esha, who made her acting debut with the 2002 film Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe, was most recently seen in a short film called Cakewalk. She largely received positive feedback for her performance in the Ram Kamal Mukherjee directorial. Cakewalk marked the actress’ return to acting after a gap of three years.

5 mythological picks now streaming in the UK — and why they’re worth watching

Highlights:

  • Indian mythological titles are landing on global OTT services with better quality and reach.
  • Netflix leads the push with Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha.
  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
