The duo fell in love on the sets of Sholay. They married in 1980. Dharmendra and Hema Malini have 2 children, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
Dharmendra and Hema Malini collaborated 1st time for the film, Tum Haseen Main Jawaan (1970). The duo worked together in many films.
Hema Malini doesn’t stay with her husband Dharmendra. When Dharmendra comes to Mumbai, he visits over her wife and children. Hema Malini stays with her children. Recently in an interview, Hema Malini was asked why she doesn’t live with Dharmendra.
Hema Malini is known as a female icon because she lives in a separate house, away from her husband. She was asked about her views of staying separate from her husband, to which she replied, “Symbol of feminism? (laughs). Nobody wants to be like that, it happens. Automatically, what happens, you have to accept. Otherwise, nobody will feel like they want to live their life like this. No! Every woman wants to have a husband, children, like a normal family. But somewhere, it went out of the way.”
Hema Malini while speaking about whether she feels bad or not about the same and supportive nature of Dharmendra said, “I am not feeling bad about it, or sulking about it. I am happy with myself. I have my two children, and I have brought them up very well. Of course, he was there, always. Everywhere. Actually, he was the one worried, ‘Shaadi honi chaiye bachon ki jaldi’. I said ‘Hogi’. When the time is right, the right person will come around. With the blessings of god and guru ma, everything happened.
She concluded by saying, “Just to make a few decisions, regarding children, that’s the only thing. They don’t want you to go wrong anywhere. There’s a time you need his support. He’s always there to give support. Whenever he’s in Bombay, he comes to see the children, he’s with them and asks about what they are doing, and their studies.”
Dharmendra got married to Parkash Kaur in 1954 at the age of 19. He married Hema Malini in 1980. Dharmendra is 87 years old and Hema Malini is 75 years old.
