If not for Dharmendra, Hema Malini would have married this man, he became a bigger star than He-Man, one condition ended their dream of wedding, his name is…
Dharmendra and Hema Malini's affair has always been a hot topic of discussion in the film industry. While Dharmendra was already married when he tied the knot with the Dream Girl actress, not many people know that there was an actor with whom Hema Malini was extremely close to getting married! Yes, that's correct! But if you are thinking that this actor is Jeetendra, then let us tell you, no. Scroll down to read more about it. The actor whom we are discussing is someone who worked in more than 100 movies in the industry. Some of these films have established this actor as a leading actor in the film industry of his time. Let us give you a hint about this actor. Remember Sholay's Thakur whose hands were chopped off by Gabbar? Does that ring a bell? Yes, this actor is none other than Sanjeev Kumar. Sanjeev Kumar started his career with the film Hum Hindustani, wherein he was given only 2 minutes of screen time. Despite such little screen time, Sanjeev made a mark for himself in the industry. However, his fate had something else in store for him! Though the actor made a mark, he passed away at the age of 47. Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini worked together in the film Seeta Aur Geeta. The song Hawa Ke Saath Saath from this film became a huge hit. While shooting for the film, an accident happened and both the actors got worried for each other and gradually developed feelings. Authors Hanif Javeri and Sumant Batra have mentioned this in their book that every time Hema met Sanjeev's mother, she kept a dupatta on her head. However, there was a rift in their relationship and they could not unite. Actually, Sanjeev Kumar wanted a wife who would stay at home and help his mother with daily chores. However, Hema was focused on her career and didn't want to leave acting. Due to this, the distance between the two increased. After separating from Hema, Sanjeev Kumar never married. Whereas Hema Malini married Dharmendra and continued her film journey.

Hema Malini or Hema Deol or something is the full name of Bollywood star, answer will leave you surprised In the golden era of Bollywood, stars were worshipped no less than gods. Their fans often celebrated their reel-life characters as their real-life identities, hailing them for their chemistry with co-star, imitating their dialogue, or copying their style.

One such tale is of Bollywood's beloved actress, also popularly known as the 'Dream Girl', Hema Malini. She made her debut in the world of cinema in the year 1968 with Sapno Ka Saudagar. However, it was movies like Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, and Baghban that rose her to fame. From her strong screen presence to her classical dance, Hema won the hearts of millions in no time. However, on one end, Hema Malini is famously known as 'Basanti' , on the other hand, people don't know her real name. Recently, when the list of the election commission with winning candidates was released, her full name was what caught everyone's attention. Her real name, according to the official documents during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, is Hema Malini Dharmendra Deol . Her name included her husband's name and his last name, 'Deol'. What's even more intriguing is that the actor Dharmendra himself doesn't use his last name 'Deol' socially. However, his kids, Sunnu Deol, Bobby Deol, do. This revelation of Hema's official name not only sparked a buzz amongst her fans but also showcased their bond and reverence for marital identity.

Relationships often make headlines in Bollywood. Many big stars are related to each other as siblings or through other family ties.

He is known for his negative roles (villains) in films like Seeta Aur Geeta, Jaani Dushman, Chacha Bhatija, Bade Dilwala, Kal Aaj Aur Kal, Sharafat, Aashiyana, Paap Aur Punya, and The Great Gambler , to name a few. His children also pursued careers in Bollywood. If you haven't been able to guess who he is, we'll help you out. We are talking about Abbas Syed, also known as Roopesh Kumar, cousin of actress Mumtaz. Film director Nanabhai Bhatt changed Abbas Syed's name when he entered Bollywood, and with that, his luck also changed. Talking about his personal life, Roopesh Kumar's eldest daughter was married to Dilip Kumar's nephew Zahid Khan and they have two children. In this sense, Rupesh Kumar was related to Dilip Kumar. His cousin, Mumtaz, had worked in major films during her time. Rupesh Kumar passed away due to a heart attack during the Filmfare Awards ceremony in 1995. Meanwhile, Mumtaz was regarded as one of the finest and most beautiful actresses. Stars like Rajesh Khanna and Shammi Kapoor were crazy for her. Shammi even wished to propose her for marriage. However, Mumtaz, who was at the peak of her career at the time, was not eager to marry anyone from the Kapoor family as they had a strict 'bahu' rule, i.e., daughters-in-law must not work in the film industry. Talking about Rajesh Khanna's one-sided love for Mumtaz, he reportedly cried inconsolably after she married Mayur Madhvavi.

Esha Deol's most candid interview on Hema Malini: 'God has blessed me with a very precious lady as a mother'
Growing up in the spotlight as the daughter of two of Indian cinema's biggest legends, Hema Malini and Dharmendra, Esha Deol has always carried herself with grace and groundedness. But behind the star persona lies a deeply personal bond—one rooted in admiration, love, and unwavering respect. In this exclusive interview, Esha opens up like never before about life with Hema Malini as her mother. Operation Sindoor Amid flare-up hours after thaw, officials say things will settle down with time Ceasefire on, but pressure stays: Key decisions by India against Pak that still stand 'Will work with India & Pakistan to seek solution on Kashmir': Trump Esha Deol on what it is like to have Hema Malini - 'The Dream Girl' of Bollywood as mother 'You know, what I feel, I am blessed, and God has blessed me with a very precious lady as a mother, and it is my responsibility to always be there for her, look after her, and do the best for her as a daughter, and I enjoy doing it. It's an absolute pleasure being her daughter,' said Esha in her candid conversation with us. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Living with the superstar Esha Deol shared how she, from a very young age knew that her parents were the superstars, and it came with a couple of perks. From a very tender age, she was a frequent at the film sets, accompanying her parents. She knew about words like producers, directors, action, cut, even before she could speak properly. Recalling those days, Esha said, 'She (Hema Malini) was a star at a very young age. I mean, when I was a baby, I would go on shoots and I didn't understand much, but I knew that this was her work and I would accompany her.' She continued, 'That's something I realized a little over the years in school when people started. You know, other kids, very cutely, they would say, 'Oh, you know, your mom is a big actor, your father is a big actor.' And their parents would mollycoddle me. And that's when I realized that my parents are superstars, legends, and have many, many, plenty of amazing films.' Further, she confessed falling in love with her mother's work. She shared, 'I was very young when I started watching her movies. 'Seeta Aur Geeta' was a favorite. We had these VHS cassettes, and in my mother's bedroom, she had a library of all her films. So I would regularly sit and watch one film every day, you know, literally.' Further, being a public figure isn't easy. The title demands more than what meets the eye. Juggling multiple projects and raising two daughters would have not been an easy task. And sharing a mother's time would have been equally difficult for the daughter. Speaking about the same, Esha shared, 'I was very proud of my mom and all her achievements and all her hard work, whether it's through dance or films. It was only difficult seeing her initially with other heroes in her films, where her costar was not my father. So I was a little possessive about her. I used to just see her films with my father initially.' Hema Malini as a grandmother Today, Hema Malini is not just a mother but a grandmother as well, and according to Esha's confession, she is acing this role! 'She's a wonderful grandmother. Very, very lenient, very, very, you know, spoils the grandchildren, literally,' said Esha. 'My grandmom was different. She was more strict, more, vigilant about our whereabouts and everything. My mom is a bit chilled out. The kids enjoy time with their grandmom. And I would say she's doing a great job as a grandmother,' she concluded.
