Do you know? Hema Malini has never stepped into her husband, Dharmendra's ancestral home, even after 43 years of their marriage, and it was her daughter, Esha Deol, who broke this tradition in 2015.
The iconic celebrity couple, Dharmendra and Hema Malini are still one of the most loved celebrities in Indian cinema. While their acting chops need no introduction, their real-life love story has inspired generations. From falling in love with each other on the sets of their film, Tum Haseen Main Jawan (1970) to getting married in 1980 after dating each other for almost a decade, Dharmendra and Hema Malini still exude the charm of a newly-married couple.
The tales of Hema Malini and Dharmendra’s happy married life has lightened up our lives for decades now. However, there’s one hidden chapter of their life that is still unknown to many people. For the unversed, after Dharmendra got married to Hema Malini in 1980, the actor purchased a new home for his second wife. It was quite clear that Hema wouldn’t live in the ancestral home where Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur and their four kids, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta Deol and Ajeita Deol, were living.

According to several reports, Hema Malini had never stepped inside her husband, Dharmendra’s ancestral home, where his first wife, Prakash Kaur, lives with her kids. Even Prakash Kaur has never entered in Hema Malini’s house, and they have always maintained a distance from each other. Even after 43 years of their marriage, Hema never allowed her daughters, Esha Deol Takhtani and Ahana Deol Vohra, to enter the premises of their father, Dharmendra’s first house.
For years, Hema Malini and Prakash Kaur maintained the tradition of not visiting each other’s homes, and even their respective kids followed it for a long time. However, it was in 2015 when the ice was broken between the two families after Esha Deol entered her daddy, Dharmendra’s ancestral home. For the uninitiated, Dharmendra’s brother, Ajit Deol got seriously ill in 2015, and he shared his wish to meet Esha, as he had sensed that his time had come. Due to his command, Hema Malini allowed her daughter to break the tradition of not entering Dharmendra’s first home.

Dharmendra’s brother, Ajit Deol was extremely fond of kids and shared a special connection with Esha Deol. From playing with her during her childhood days to always pampering the actress, Ajit and Esha’s bond was too concrete. It was the reason why he urged his brother, Dharmendra to bring Esha inside his home. As per the reports, when a young Esha entered her daddy’s ancestral home, Prakash Kaur greeted her with open arms. The mother of four kids took great care of Esha and introduced her to Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta Deol and Ajeita Deol. Unfortunately, Dharmendra’s brother, Ajit Deol passed soon after his meeting with Esha Deol on October 23, 2015. The actor died due to gallbladder complications.
The mutual respect that Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini have for each other is truly remarkable and no doubt a lot of its credit goes to their husband, Dharmendra. What do you think? Let us know.
