Film legends Dharmanendra and Hema Malini’s daughter and actress Esha Deol finally got married to businessman Bharat Takhtani on June 29! It was a big do as many celebrities, friends and members of both bride and groom’s families attended the marriage ceremony.

However, the one thing which everybody noticed was the absence of Esha’s big brothers Sunny and Bobby Deol. Apparently both were tied up with shooting films and couldn’t make it to their sister’s wedding. Bobby D was, if Indian newspapers are to go by, in London and Sunny D in Mumbai.

Hmmm. At least Sunny D could’ve easily come. Well, it’s family matter. We shouldn’t be poking our nose into it.
