Dharmendra tied the knot when the actor was already married and had two kids. However, do you know that Dharmendra and Hema Malini's love story was not just theirs? It was a love triangle. Yes, the story behind the love triangle is that since Dharmendra was already a married man, Hema's parents were never in favour of their relationship. They tried every possible attempt to get Hema away from Dharmendra. In the same scenario, Hema Malini's wedding was fixed with a Bollywood superstar of that time. Hema's parents wanted her to marry Jeetendra. During this time, Jeetendra was already dating his childhood friend and cabin crew Shobha Sippy, and he knew that Hema had affection for Dharmendra. Despite knowing all this, Jeetendra said yes to the proposal. According to a report in Indian Express, a close friend of Jeetendra has mentioned this incident in Ram Kamal Mukherjee's book Beyond the Dream Girl. As per the book, Jeetendra never wanted to marry Hema, but it was because of his family that he said yes. The families fixed Hema and Jeetendra's wedding in a temple in Chennai. However, things went haywire when Dharmendra got to know about the secret wedding. Without any delay, he reached Chennai and hindered the wedding. Drunk, Dharmendra created a huge ruckus, and Hema's father lost his cool. He told the actor, 'You are married, get out of my daughter's life.' However, Dharmendra flatly refused to go; rather, he asked for permission to talk to Hema Malini alone. Hema's father allowed her to talk to Dharmendra alone for some time. After this, when Hema came back after talking to Dharmendra, she asked her father for some time to get married. This made Jeetendra's family extremely angry. Out of rage, the Farz actor's parents asked Hema to answer a yes or no about the wedding. Under pressure, Hema flatly refused. Upon hearing this, Jeetu's family left in anger. After this entire controversy, Dharmendra did not marry Hema on the same day, but they got married in 1980. After marriage, Hema gave birth to two lovely daughters – Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.

Sooraj Pancholi lashes out at his 'cowardly' peers, says Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Dharmendra fought for their people
After years away from the limelight, Sooraj Pancholi returned to the silver screen with the historical action film Kesari Veer . While the film marked a professional comeback, it also became the backdrop for Sooraj to open up about a deeper concern—one that extends beyond cinema: the growing isolation among today's generation of a candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Sooraj shared his thoughts on the noticeable shift in camaraderie within the industry. He reflected on a recent act of solidarity when Tiger Shroff attended the premiere of Kesari Veer just after a simple phone call. It struck a chord with Sooraj, reminding him of a bygone era when friendships in the film world were built on loyalty and mutual respect, not just professional convenience. He attributed the bond to the legacy of their fathers, who once belonged to a close-knit circle that genuinely stood by each other during highs and that past to the present, Sooraj observed a stark contrast. He believes that today's actors have become more cautious and self-protective. In earlier times, he recalled, whether it was an accident, a controversy, or a personal loss, people in the industry would show up without hesitation. The fraternity once united even against the media during protests, standing as a single voice. But such unity, he feels, has all but disappeared. Fear of involvement, reputational risk, and the desire to avoid confrontation have replaced courage and loyalty. According to him, many now shy away from speaking up or showing support unless there's visibility attached to the fondly remembered the older generation who embodied this spirit—actors like Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, and his own father, Aditya Pancholi. These men, he felt, shared a silent code of brotherhood that made them dependable. Legends like Mithun Chakraborty and Dharmendra were also symbols of this unity; stories of Dharmendra standing up for his peers during tough times left a lasting impression on Sooraj. He lamented that such organic relationships and protective instincts seem almost extinct also touched upon how today's displays of support often seem calculated. People rally around someone only when it suits the public image—when the cameras are watching or the social stakes are high. But genuine concern, when unaccompanied by media attention, is a a separate conversation, Sooraj opened up about the dynamics of his own family, especially the strength of his mother, veteran actress Zarina Wahab. He credited her as the anchor of the household, someone who endured immense hardships without ever showing vulnerability. She began working at a young age and built a life entirely on her own terms. Despite having the financial and emotional means to walk away during difficult times, she chose to stay. Sooraj acknowledged that her choices were deeply personal, shaped by her own understanding with his father, and he expressed his respect without Pancholi began his acting career in 2015 with the film Hero, where he starred opposite Athiya Shetty, the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty. After a significant hiatus, he returned to the big screen with the historical action drama Kesari Veer. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Barkha Bisht, among others.

This man made Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Kabir Bedi superstars, died in extreme poverty, name was..., Amitabh Bachchan was his...
This man made Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Kabir Bedi superstars, died in extreme poverty, name was..., Amitabh Bachchan was his... The Hindi film industry has given us numerous evergreen heroes, who have entertained us throughout their careers with impeccable work. However, how can one forget this man who played a pivotal part in building the careers of some of the most prominent stars including, Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Kabir Bedi, as well as, placing his faith in Amitabh Bachchan. We are talking about none other than the legendary producer, director, writer and actor OP Ralhan who made and starred in several hit movies from 1960s to 1980s. He initially started his career as an actor, but soon transitioned to making films like Phool Aur Patthar, Talash, Bande Haath, Hulchul and more. OP Ralhan introduced several new talents in his lifetime. His one of the biggest hits Phool Aur Patthar catapulted Dharmendra to success, because of his iconic shirtless scene in the movie. Following that, Dharmendra gained the title of Bollywood's He-Man, and began receiving opportunities from every leading banner. With Zeenat Aman too, the actress who became a star after Dev Anand's Hare Rama Hare Krishna, was launched by OP Ralhan in his film Hulchul . Kabir Bedi, who was too launched in the same film as Zeenat, once recalled some fond memories working with Ralhan. He revealed how he refused to share the script with him when he cast him as an actor. 'Arre, mujhe story puchega? Sharm nahi aati? Mane Dharmendra ko star banaya hai. Phool Aur Patthar dekhi hai? Mujhse story maangega? Sign kar. (You will ask me for a story? Don't you have any shame? I turned Dharmendra into a star. Have you seen Phool Aur Patthar? Just sign).' Kabir laughed and recalled. In the same conversation with Filmfare, Kabir recalled OP Ralhan going through a distressful financial time towards the end of his last days. Ralhan has been an instrumental figure in Amitabh Bachchan's career too. During those days, Big B was praised for his punctuality, as many superstars were popular for arriving late to work, which used to discourage filmmakers for signing them. One of the reasons why Amitabh Bachchan make sure to be on time at work was probably a lesson that he learnt when Ralhan 'screamed' at him in front of everyone. The filmmaker, who was very particular about timings, once cancelled the shoot because Big B arrived 30 minutes late. Bachchan once shared in his blog, 'Landed up half an hour late for the shoot at RK Studios for 'Bandhe Haath' .. OP Ralhan the director screamed reprimanded me and shut shop .. shoot cancelled and announced in the open to many listening on .. embarrassed beyond .. early lessons learnt.' After a prolonged illness, OP Ralhan passed away in 1999, from cardiac arrest at the age of 74.
