After Radhya Takhtani presents first dance recital, Esha Deol on her daughter taking Hema Malini's legacy forward in the world of performing arts

Hema Malini has been an exponent of Bharat Natyam for decades while daughters Esha Deol Takhtani and Ahana Deol have carried on the tradition by training in Odissi. It appears their love for dance runs in the genes — Deol's daughter Radhya may be a few months shy of turning two, but the tiny tot presented her first act last week. With her mother for company, the duo danced to the track, Zingaat (Dhadak, 2018), at the annual day event in her Juhu playschool.
Beaming with pride, Deol gushes, "Since Radhya was born, she would always move her body in rhythm. She has been accompanying me to the green room and would smile on seeing me set for the dance ballet, Ramayan. So when she performed for her annual day, it was a special moment for Bharat [Takhtani, husband] and me."
