‘Living with his memories’: Hema Malini breaks silence on life after Dharmendra’s passing

During the interaction, Hema Malini also spoke about the void left by the passing of her husband, Dharmendra. Remembering him fondly, Hema said that she is “living” with his memories, and they are enough for her to lead this life. She shared how he was her biggest strength and support system, who encouraged her to continue dancing. “Go ahead, don’t stop. Continue with your dance,” he would say often.

Talking about the void, the Baghban actor shared that she hasn’t processed Dharmendra’s loss, and believes that this grief will never go away. 

Hema Malini and Dharmendra’s relationship was often under public scrutiny, but the couple paid little heed to what was written about them and continued to live life on their own terms. “We lived our lives according to us, not for people who wanted to criticise or judge us. We lived with true love. Right from the beginning, we knew we were meant for each other. Nobody could change that,” Hema said.

Rumours about Hema Malini’s differences with the Deol family have often made headlines. However, she dismissed them as “fabricated” and said they are a “united family.” She urged people not to believe everything that is circulated online, adding that they are a “very happy family.”
