Mom-to-be Esha Deol is currently on cloud nine. She’s cherishing every bit of her journey towards motherhood. And not just the actress, but her husband Bharat Takhtani and the rest of her family members are also equally excited. A while ago, the couple tied the knot once again in a traditional Godh Bharai ceremony. And we shared some really sweet photos of the duo from the grand event.
And just now, we got our hands on some photos of her surprise baby shower that was thrown by her sister Ahana Deol. Apparently, it was kept as a secret from Esha as the family wanted to surprise her.
Ahana secretly planned with her brother-in-law Bharat, and got Esha’s measurements for a Lavender chiffon lace vintage gown with floral embroidery, designed by their friend and ace designer Rocky S. Bharat’s suit was designed by Simply Simone. Here are some exclusive pictures from the do.

Ahana wanted to ensure that the theme of the party matched Esha’s personality. And since lavender happens to be the favourite colour of the mom-to-be and isn’t gender specific, it was zeroed down as the colour of the event.
Ahana, along with their childhood friend, Varun Kapoor hosted the party at Sunny Handa‘s Z Residence. They planned it meticulously with lavender themed invites, balloons, floral arrangements, assorted candies and personalized banners with a very special lavender based chocolate Belgium cake, with a miniature version of vintage perambulator on the top baked by Delicia. Exotic hydro-mocktails and cocktails, with authentic Awadhi and mughlai dishes were also served. Only retro music was played at the bash.
The special thematic baby shower also included fun games like tug of war and many more. The guests were asked to wear blue if they thought the couple was going to have a baby boy and pink in case they thought it was going to be a girl.
Lastly, the perfect host Ahana also made sure the guests went home with return gifts that included customised bracelets for all, pocket square for boys and scarf for girls, special double Chocó-chip and salted caramel cookies from the House of Cookies.
Says Ahana Deol “I wanted to do this for Esha because she threw a surprise baby shower party for me. So I decided to do the same for her. As sisters these are the fun girly moments in our life. Thanks to Bharat for sneakily getting me the measurements of Esha for the gown and managing to keep it a surprise for her.”
