‘I Don’t Approve Of Them,’ Says Dharmendra’s First Wife Prakash On His Relationship With Hema Malini

New Delhi: It has taken so many years for the private life of the Deol family to become public. The last time, Dharmendra’s private life came out in the open was when he married Hema Malini. But his recent Instagram post for his second wife Hema Malini and daughters Esha, and Ahana has once again put him in the spotlight. It is believed that Dharmendra converted to Islam to marry Hema Malini even though he was already married to Prakash Kaur and was the father of four children.

Dharmendra was also termed as a womanizer. However, in an interview with India Today, his first wife, Prakash Kaur defended her husband and said, “Why only my husband, any man would want have preferred Hema to me. How dare anyone call my husband a womanizer when half the industry is doing the same thing? All heroes are having affairs and getting married a second time.”

She further added, “He may not be the best husband, though he is very good to me, but he is certainly the best father. His children love him a lot. He never neglects them. I can understand what Hema is going through. Even she has to face the world, her relatives and her friends. But if I were in Hema’s place, I would not have done what she did. For, as a woman, I can understand her feelings. But as a wife and a mother, I do not approve of them.”
