Dharmendra and Esha Deol
Actress Esha Deol, daughter of famous actor Dharmendra, had a tough time breaking into the film industry, even with her family`s influence. Her father, who holds traditional values, was against her becoming an actress and would have preferred she get married and settle down by the time she was 18.
In a recent interview with Hauterfly, she said, “He didn’t want that I should enter the movies. He is a bit orthodox, rightfully so. He is a Punjabi father, and he wanted that we should get married, settle down at 18.”
