Zayed Khan Had An Affair With Esha Deol After Marrying Malaika Parekh? Actor Reveals TRUTH
Zayed Khan refuted affair rumours and said that Esha Deol has been a buddy for him.
Zayed Khan and Esha Deol have worked together in films like Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne, Dus and Cash, among others. As such, their frequent collaborations led to speculations about an affair. However, Zayed Khan has clarified that he was never romantically involved with Esha Deol.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan in a recent interview, Zayed said, 'No, I was never in a relationship with Esha Deol. We have done a lot of films together. I was always with my wife, Malaika, and Esha and Malaika have always been good friends. Esha is a sweetheart, and I don't want to say anything because she got married and all. She has been a buddy for life."
For the unversed, Zayed Khan married his childhood sweetheart, Malaika Parekh, on November 20, 2005. The couple, who met in 1995 at Kodaikanal International School, have two sons: Zidaan, born in 2008, and Aariz, born in 2011. Meanwhile, Esha Deol's journey of finding love, getting married and getting a divorce has been quite public.
Her relationship with businessman Bharat Takhtani began during their school years. After a brief teenage separation, they rekindled their romance and married on June 29, 2012, in a modest ceremony at the ISKCON temple in Mumbai. The couple has two daughters: Radhya and Miraya.
In 2024, Esha and Bharat announced their separation, stating it was a mutual and amicable decision. They emphasised that the well-being of their children remained their top priority and requested privacy during this personal transition.
Reflecting on their relationship, Esha shared insights in her book, Amma Mia: Stories, Advice, and Recipes from One Mother to Another. She mentioned that after the birth of their second daughter, Bharat became irritable and felt neglected due to her divided attention between their children, her book, and other commitments. Esha acknowledged these challenges and made efforts to reconnect, including planning date nights to rekindle their bond.
Despite their separation, Esha and Bharat have maintained a respectful co-parenting relationship. Esha has emphasised the importance of setting aside personal differences for the sake of their children, ensuring they continue to receive love and stability from both parents.
