Dharmendra, who was married to his first wife, Prakash Kaur, fell in love with Hema Malini and got married to her.
In a throwback interview, Prakash spoke about Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s relationship. The interview, which was conducted in 1981, recently resurfaced, shedding light on the actor’s personal life.
During the interview, Prakash Kaur expressed her love and respect for Dharmendra, who was the first and only person to enter her life. She stated that she doesn’t know who to blame for the situation and that she still has faith in her husband. However, she also expressed her disapproval of Hema Malini’s actions, saying that as a wife and a mother, she wouldn’t have done what Hema did.
The couple met on the set of a film and fell in love, despite Dharmendra being married to Prakash Kaur at the time. However, he didn’t divorce his first wife and instead adopted Islam in order to marry Hema Malini in 1980. The two have since had two daughters together, Esha and Ahana Deol, in addition to Dharmendra’s four children with Prakash Kaur.
Despite criticism from the public, Prakash Kaur defended her husband and spoke highly of him in the interview. Dharmendra, who has acted in over 250 films, will next be seen in Karan Johar’s upcoming movie ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ alongside Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.
