Hema Malini and Dharmendra's love story:
Back in the 70s, Hema Malini was the Dream Girl of many. She once ruled the heart f Jeetendra and the two hasd reached coseto even tying the knot, if reports are the be believed. However, she found a place in Dharmendra's heart. Despite being married to Prakash Kaur and having two children with her, the actor pursued Hema for marriage. The actress-dancer wasn't reciprocating Dharmendra's feelings as she didn't want to create an obstacle in his married life.
Eventually, she fell in love with Dharmendra and tied the knot in 1980. Since he was married to Prakash and didn't want a divorce, the veteran actor reportedly converted to Islam before the wedding. On the other hand, Hema's father opposed the proposal as he wasn't in favour of his daughter marrying a married man. While the couple got married after her father's demise, her mother wasn't happy. They converted to Islam and got married against their families' wishes. Later, they had an Iyengar-style wedding too.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Dharmendra was last seen in Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon's 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya'. He will be next seen in Sriram Raghavan's 'Ikkis'.
Hema Malini is quite busy with her political stint amid the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. The BJP candidate is seeking re-election from Mathura, a constituency she has represented since 2014. She is contesting against Congress's Mukesh Dhangar in the Mathura constituency.
