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.

'This Cap I Give To Very Few People': Shubman Gill Receives Heartwarming Gift From Sunil Gavaskar
India captain Shubman Gill received a special gift from 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar after he came close but stood too far from breaking his record for most runs by an Indian in a Test series. Shubman agonisingly fell 20 runs short of breaking Gavaskar's tally of 774 as he concluded the series with 754 runs to his name. With his robust technique, he looked poised for an extended stay on the case but was undone by a sharply nipping delivery from Gus Atkinson, punching his return ticket on 11(9). At the end of a throbbing contest on Day 3 of the fifth Test, Gavaskar met Gill, gifted a shirt with the SG initials and a special cap that he doesn't give to too many people. He hopes that after missing out on the elusive milestone by a whisker, he will strive for it in future assignments. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift. It is a shirt with SG initials, someone made it for me, I am giving this to you, but I don't know if it will fit you. This is a cap which I give to very few people with my signature. All the best," Gavaskar said after meeting Gill in a video posted by Sony Sports on X. A wholesome moment between Shubman Gill & Sunil Gavaskar #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @ShubmanGill — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 Gill and Mohammed Siraj's tactical ploy was on display during the final moments before the day's end. India played a double bluff by setting up the field for a 'sweet chin music', but Siraj bowled a searing, angling yorker to rattle Zak Crawley's timber. Impressed by the brilliant piece of gambit, Gavaskar promised to wear his lucky jacket, hoping it would turn India's fortune. "That last over was fantastic. Sending a fielder over there, but then bowling the yorker. Tomorrow I am going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia, the white one during the Gabba Test, on the last day," he concluded. In pursuit of a 374-run target, England opener Crawley and Ben Duckett raised a 50-run opening stand before the former departed on 14(36). As things stand, India is eight wickets shy of victory, while England needs 324 runs with two days left for play.
