Hema Malini and Dharmendra's elder daughter actress Esha Deol got engaged to her businessman beau Bharat Takhtani at a private ceremony took place on Sunday morning at Hema's Juhu bungalow. The function was attended by relatives and close friends. Only Jaya Bachchan was one of the prominent faces from Bollywood seen at the function.

"We are very happy today for Esha and Bharat. It is a happy moment for all of us. Bharat is a very nice person. It is a private function," Hema told the reporters. An overjoyed Esha, 29, said, "I am happy and I thank everyone for their blessings."

The bride-to-be was dressed in a pink sari with green embellishments, teamed with minimalist jewellery. Her beau Takhtani looked smart in a white shirt, white jacket and a pair of beige trousers. Esha playfully flashed her engagement ring to the waiting photographers as the couple stepped out and posed for pictures for them. The family has assured that the wedding will be a grand affair, once they set a date.
