A love Born on the Film Set
Dharmendra and hema Malini’s timeless love story began when they first met on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan.
Dharmendra was instantly captivated by hema malini, a love at first sight.
Their professional collaboration gradually turned into a warm friendship and then deep affection.
Hema’s Acceptance of Dharmendra’s Past
At the time, dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur and had children.
Hema Malini was fully aware of his marital status, yet she still chose to stand by him.
Despite societal expectations, she expressed the desire to share her life with Dharmendra.
Complication: The Hindu marriage Act
Dharmendra wished to marry hema malini but was reluctant to divorce his first wife.
Under the Hindu marriage Act, he could not legally remarry without dissolving the previous marriage.
This legal restriction became a major obstacle for the couple.
Conversion to islam for Marriage
To overcome the legal barrier, both decided to convert to islam on august 21, 1979.
Dharmendra adopted the name Dilawar Khan, while hema malini took the name Ayesha B.
Their conversion made their Nikah legally permissible and allowed them to marry.
Marriage and Secrecy
After embracing islam, the two quietly solemnized their Nikah.
Their marriage remained hidden for some time to avoid public backlash.
Once the news surfaced, the couple faced significant controversy and criticism.
A Relationship Unshaken by Controversy
Despite public uproar, neither allowed negativity to affect their bond.
A few months after the Nikah, they also married according to Hindu customs on May 2, 1980.
Their relationship thrived on mutual respect, space, and understanding.
Harmony Between Both Families
Hema Malini did not interfere in Dharmendra’s first family, and Prakash Kaur reportedly harbored no issues with Hema.
Even today, hema lives separately, while dharmendra fulfills responsibilities toward both families with sincerity.
