Veteran actor Hema Malini is presently the gladdest person
as her daughter, Esha Deol, gave birth to a baby girl on October 20. The new grand
mom in an interview to a tabloid disclosed the new feeling that has engulfed
her right now.
“It’s such a beautiful feeling to become a grandmom again! I
am very excited right now. Even Dharmendra ji is very happy. Esha is doing
well, and the newborn baby girl, whom Esha and her husband Bharat Takhtani have
decided to name Radhya, is so sweet and lovely-looking, like a little doll!”
Hema revealed.
She further told, “My Mathura people are very happy. Krishna
ki nagri hai, toh Radha Rani is important there.”
Hema also stated how they welcomed the little bundle of joy.
“We didn’t go to the hospital because Bharat’s family went and brought her
home. We were at home, making the preparations to welcome the baby. The first
thing we did was aarti according to the Hindu tradition. Outside, my staff was
celebrating with phuljhadis. But we didn’t burst more crackers, as we did not
want to disturb the child with the noise and also because it would have led to
so much pollution,” added the veteran actor.
“I was equally excited when Darien (son of Ahana Deol,
Hema’s younger daughter) was born. But he has grown up so fast, and now goes to
playschool. But I am scared to hold these babies, though I did it in my time.
In the next few years, even Radhya will grow up and start going to school...
how time flies! But I am happy seeing the way Esha and Bharat are handling
things. They are so excited, almost as if they have a little new toy to play
with!” Hema said, while adding “Ahana is helping Esha, since she’s more
experienced. Nowadays, there are so many things to help both the parents and
the child, which we didn’t have in our times.”, she added later.
