Hema Malini and Dharmendra are one of those couples in Indian cinema whom people have seen growing over the years. From their iconic love story to sharing kids together and still living apart, their journey has been filled with ups and downs.
Though the couple was one of the most loved ones, they still remained in different houses even after marriage. This was one thing that boggled their fans, and to this date, fans look for an answer.
Why Hema Malini Never Lived With Dharmendra ?
However, in Hema’s biography ‘Hema Malini: Beyound the Dream Girl.’ which is written by journalist-filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee. She revealed the reason for not going to Dharmendra’s house and said, “I didn’t want to disturb anyone. I am happy with whatever Dharamji did for me and my daughters. He played the role of a father, like any father would do. I guess I am happy with that. Today I am a working woman and I have been able to maintain my dignity because I have devoted my life to art and culture.”
For the unversed, Dharmendra was initially married to Prakash Kaur, before marrying Hema Malini.
The actress had expressed how deeply she respects his first wife. “Though I have never spoken about Prakash, I respect her a lot. Even my daughters respect Dharamji’s family. The world wants to know about my life in detail, but that is not for others to know. It’s no one’s business,” she had said.
Hema Malini also revealed that she never sulked on living alone. She 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 (Dharmendra) was there, always. Everywhere.”
