One of the most eternally mesmerizing couple of reel and real life-Dharmendra and Hema Malini-still stands as an epitome of Love, bliss and nuptials.When Hema, the only dream girl of Bollywood and Indian cinema's original He-man, Dharmendra met, shower of love was bound to happen to their relationship.The veteran film actors Hema and Dharmendra sizzled as on-screen couple. They started falling for each other on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan in the year 1970. Dharmendra, at that time was already a married man and had two children Sunny and Bobby from his first wife Prakash Kaur.But Hema's charismatic beauty and intriguing features could not resist the man from falling in Love with her. Hema, till that point of time had already turned down two extreme proposals from actors like Sanjeev Kapoor and Jeetendra.Being not that keen in getting involved with an already married man, Hema initially turned down Dharmendra when he proposed her. But then, the unexpected happened and both of them get bonded and tied the knot in 1980. What took on the headlines was the couple's decision to convert into Islam since Dharmendra's first wife, Prakash Kaur was adamant not to give him divorce.Other obstacles too followed the couple, when Hema's father strictly opposed their marriage. It was only after the demise of her father that Hema agreed to the marriage that deeply hurt her mother.If media reports are to be believed, both Dharmendra and Hema were so much in love that they actually went against the will of their families and took the step of marriage. As per the Outlookindia.com, their Nikahnama stated, "Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishn (44 years) accepted Aisha Bi R. Chakravarty (29 years) as his wife on 21 August 1979 at a mehr of Rs 111,000 in the presence of two legal witnesses."The nikaah, was kept as a secret and later the couple also got married in Iyengar style since Hema Malini is an Iyengar.It is stated in Hema Malini's biography that the reason behind her being attracted to Dharmendra was his strength and silent attitude like her mother. The veteran actress also revealed that she has always found her husband very romantic and says he still looks the way he did in their first meeting.It was rumoured that while shooting a particular scene in Sholay, Dharamendra lured the light boys with money to disturb the lights on the set. The continuous retakes gave him many chances to hold Hema Malini several times. Neither age nor time proved as hindrance between the love and affection that the two share. They are believed to date for 5 years before marriage. The couple has two daughters Esha and Ahana Deol. The famous Bollywood jodi of Veeru and Basanti has till now acted in almost 42 movies together. Their love has always been evergreen and has inspired many youngsters so far. Asking about his lady love, Dharmendra revives, “Hema is still my dream girl”.It is truly unbelievable to see how love keeps on blossoming with each year they have spent together. Despite the world's resistance, they bonded and today, as Dharmendra completes his 78 years, Hema still stands beholding him with all warmth and endearment of their love.
