Bharat felt neglected after their second daughter's birth
Esha revealed in her parenting book, published in 2020, that her husband felt "neglected" after the birth of their second daughter. Esha wrote in her book 'Amma Mia', "After my second child, for a short time, I saw that Bharat was grumpy and irritated with me. He felt I wasn't giving him enough attention. It is reasonable for a spouse to feel this way because, at the time, I was preoccupied with Radhya's playschool debacle and feeding Miraya, as well as writing my book and attending production meetings. So he felt neglected."
