Hema Malini spoke to stepson Sunny Deol for first time 10 years after marriage with Dharmendra, reason will shock you

Hema Malini and Sunny Deol

Hema Malini and Dharmendra got married in 1980, even though Dharmendra was already married and had four children with his first wife, Prakash Kaur: Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajeeta Deol and Vijeta Deol. While the Satyakam actor maintained his connection with his first family, the Baghban actor was not welcomed in the same way. He later revealed that he had a proper conversation with Sunny about a decade after their marriage and even then it was all about his directorial debut.

When Hema decided to make her debut film Dil Aashna Hai, she decided to cast Dimple Kapadia in an important role. Dimple and Sunny were quite close at that time. Since Hema wanted to shoot a paragliding scene that involved some risk, Dimple called Sunny on the sets of the 1992 film. Sunny later spoke to her step-mother Hema to ensure Dimple’s safety at the scene.

Describing this incident in her biography Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl, the veteran actress said, “I wanted to shoot a paragliding scene with Mithun Chakraborty and Dimple Kapadia in Dil Aashna Hai and there was an airplane scene that was required for the song sequence,” adding that the pilot had an accident a few days before the shooting. Hema added, “Dimple was very scared to shoot. She informed Sunny and Sunny came and met me out of concern. I assured Sunny that she would be safe and that’s when I started talking to her.”

There are still some cracks in the Deol family as Hema Malini and her daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol did not attend Sunny Deol’s son Karan Deol’s wedding in 2023. In a recent interview with ABP Live, Bobby Deol reveals that Dharmendra lives with his first wife Prakash Kaur at their farmhouse in Khandala. Hema Malini lives in her own home in Mumbai.
