Meet Dharmendra's daughters Ajeita Deol, Vijeta Deol, never worked in films, one is a teahcer, other works as..., their husbands are...
Bollywood's most iconic actor, who ensured that all retro lovers had his name on their lips, is Dharmendra. The 1960s, considered the golden era of Bollywood, introduced cinema lovers to a fresh, handsome, and super-talented actor — Dharmendra. He made his debut with the film Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. The film was a huge hit and marked the beginning of Dharmendra's long acting journey. While the actor was climbing the ladder of success in his professional life, his personal life saw various ups and downs. The Sholay star has been married twice and is a father to two sons and four daughters. While everyone knows about Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, whom Dharmendra shares with his first wife Prakash Kaur, let's tell you more about his four daughters. Dharmendra's Daughters Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954 when he was just 19 years old. Together, they had four children: Sunny, Bobby, Ajeita, and Vijeta. While everyone knows about Dharmendra and Hema Malini's daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, not many people are aware of Ajeta and Vijeta. Who is Ajeita Deol Ajeita Deol is a psychology teacher at a school in the United States. She is married to Indian-American dentist Kiran Chaudhary, and the couple has two daughters, Nikita and Priyanka Chaudhary. Though Ajeta's brothers Sunny and Bobby Deol are well-known actors, she chose to stay away from the limelight. Who is Vijeta Deol? Dharmendra named his production company, Vijeta Production Private Limited, after her. According to media reports, Vijeta is married to Vivek Gill, and the couple lives in Delhi. She is also the director of Rajkamal Holdings and Trading Private Limited. Like her sister Ajeta, Vijeta has also chosen to stay away from the showbiz industry. Meanwhile, after Dharmendra remarried and tied the knot with Hema Malini, the couple was blessed with two daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. While Esha is an actress who has appeared in several movies, Ahana also chose the same field.

Tehran OTT release: John Abraham says it's 'disheartening' as theatres avoided film over controversies
John Abraham has expressed his disappointment over the direct-to-OTT release of his long-delayed film 'Tehran', which is now set to premiere on ZEE5 after being held back since 2023. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the actor admitted, 'It's very disheartening. I'm not going to mince my words on it, but it breaks your heart, especially for an actor who always wants to be seen on the big screen. But we all made a very informed decision on that. And the decision was that because of the conflicts and controversies that are happening around internationally.' The film, which features significant references to Iran and Israel, faced reluctance from cinema chains due to its sensitive geopolitical context. 'Theatres were a little wary of picking up a film that had Iran and Israel in it. We had a choice of either showing the film somewhere or not showing it at all,' John explained. Abraham credited ZEE5 for stepping in to give the film a home. 'Zee5 has been gracious and told us they would be our platform. But it also breaks your heart as an actor who only wants to be seen on the big screen,' he noted. Describing 'Tehran' as more of a foreign film, he added, 'When you will see the film, you will understand that why it will not resonate with a larger audience. It has got a lot of Farsi in it and a lot of Hebrew in it. It's only 1 hour and 50 minutes long. It's got a lot of foreign language in it.' Explaining the authenticity behind the language use, he said, 'The film is called Tehran and once you enter Tehran, you are not going to be speaking in Hindi… Having said all of it, it's finally coming out.' 'Tehran' will arrive on the streaming platform on August 14.
