Hema Malini and Dharmendra are very much liked as a couple, their love story is discussed everywhere. Both the stars got married in the year 1980, although Dharmendra was already married at that time. His first marriage was with Prakash Kaur, together they have four children Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajita and Vijaya. Dharmendra had married Hema Malini without breaking his first marriage, after which it was said that both of them had converted to Islam for marriage.
Ram Kamal Mukherjee has written a book on the life of Hema Malini, titled ‘Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl’. It has been told in this book that the marriage of Dharmendra and Hema Malini took place under the Hindu Marriage Act. It is also told in this book that after their marriage, a rumor was spread that both of them had adopted Islam and it was told that Dharmendra and Hema Malini had married by changing their names to Dilawar and Ayesha Bi.
The matter was raised back in 2004
However, after some time of their marriage, these rumors came to a halt. But back in 2004, this rumor arose again when Dharmendra was contesting the Lok Sabha elections. At that time the issue was raised that during the announcement of his entire property, Dharmendra had taken the name of only his first wife Prakash Kaur, Hema Malini’s name was not mentioned anywhere in it. On this the actress said that this is our personal matter, which we will resolve among ourselves.
Dharmendra had revealed
At that time, Hema Malini was also being accused of giving wrong information about her name and caste. Dharmendra talked about the issue of changing religion in ‘Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl’. Dharmendra told that he never changed his religion, he said, “I am not the kind of person who will change my religion for my choice, all these allegations are being made wrong.”
