Bobby Deol recently shared insights into the personal lives of his parents, Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur, and his stepmother, Hema Malini. In a recent interview, Bobby revealed that Dharmendra is currently living with his first wife, Prakash Kaur. He further clarified that Hema Malini resides in her own bungalow.
Dharmendra's marriage to Hema Malini in 1980, while still married to Prakash Kaur, caused a stir. Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954 at the age of 19. Together, Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur have four children: Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajeita Deol, and Vijeta Deol. Dharmendra and Hema Malini have two daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
Despite the unconventional family dynamic, Bobby Deol's recent statement sheds light on the current living arrangements, indicating that Dharmendra spends his time with his first wife, Prakash Kaur.
Earlier, Hema Malini had spoken about her separate living arrangement with Dharmendra. In a conversation a few years ago, she explained that she has no regrets about the situation, accepting it as a natural course of events. She expressed that while every woman desires a conventional family life, circumstances sometimes lead to different paths. Hema Malini affirmed her happiness and contentment with her two daughters, emphasizing that Dharmendra has always been present for them.
Prakash Kaur has also publicly defended Dharmendra following his marriage to Hema Malini. In an interview with Stardust in 1981, she countered the criticism against Dharmendra, stating that "any man would have preferred Hema over me". She also challenged the "womanizer" label attributed to him, pointing out that infidelity was not uncommon in the film industry. Prakash Kaur emphasized that despite everything, Dharmendra is a devoted and loving father to his children. She stated that she can understand what Hema is going through, as she also has to face the world, her relatives, and her friends.
Dharmendra's career began in 1960, and he was already married to Prakash Kaur with a son, Sunny Deol. Dharmendra was last seen in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani ' and 'Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya'.
