After Esha Deol gives Karan Deol’s wedding a skip, Hema Malini says Dharmendra has always been there for his daughters: ‘He was worried…’

Hema Malini and Dharmendra are one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples. They got married in 1980 and are parents to two daughters—Esha and Ahana Deol. When Dharmendra fell in love with Hema, he was already married to Prakash Kaur. Despite deciding to separate from Prakash Kaur, Dharmendra never officially divorced her. Hema has been vocal about her intention to maintain a respectful distance from Dharmendra’s “other family.” She has now opened up about the presence of Dharmendra in their lives, and how worried he is about their daughters. 

In an interview with Lehren, Hema opened up about how Dharmendra was always there for their daughters–Esha and Ahana. Hema also recalled how worried he was about getting them married. She said, “I have my two children, they are brought up very well and he (Dharmendra) is always there. That is the best part, he is always there.” She added, “Actually he was worried, ‘shaadi hona chaiye bachchon ka jaldi (The gets should get married quickly).’ I said ‘Hoga (It’ll happen).’ When the time is right, the right person will come around. With the blessings of god and guru ma, everything happened.”

Dharmendra recently made headlines after he shared a social media post seemingly apologising to Hema and their two daughters for not personally calling them to invite them to his grandson Karan Deol’s wedding. Karan is Sunny Deol’s son. He tied the knot with Drisha Acharya recently, but Hema’s and her two daughters didn’t attend the festivities.

Hema and Dharmendra starred together in films like Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta and Kinara among others. Hema had recently called her marriage unconventional and in an interview with Bombay Times, she said, “If my marriage had been a conventional one, I think I would have been a nobody. Today, I am doing all this-films, dance, going to places for talks, being in politics-itna sab kuch kaise hota if it was a conventional life.”
