Before discussing the reality and trap of Dharmendra's love and conversion to marry Hema Malini, pay attention to one of his couplets. Dharmendra himself had recited this couplet in an interview. It is something like this- Criticism should be justified and not illegitimate… Criticism should be criticism, not sarcasm… Think before saying anything… Wounds are healed by the sword, not by words. In this couplet, 'Jaiza' means investigation and 'Tanqid' means criticism. There should not be sarcasm in criticism. Dharmendra recited this couplet when in the interview he was asked questions regarding alcohol and youth. Dharmendra wants to say – Whatever is written becomes history. Times change but the trappings hardly change.
In one of our recent articles we Relationship and love between Dharmendra and Hema Malini But it was written in detail. You can also read it in detail by clicking this link. It was told in that article how deeply Dharmendra loved Hema Malini. Dharmendra worked so hard to get Hema's love. How much struggle. Endured so many arrows of defamation. In the eyes of the world, the love and marriage between a married man, a father of four children, and an unmarried girl may be a cause for illegitimate scrutiny, but the way both of them took this love story to its end and played it with simplicity and dignity over the years, is an example for a place like the film industry.
But let's take a look today Dharmendra-Hema Malini To change religion and get married. According to the story, there were many obstacles in the marriage of Dharmendra and Hema Malini. Dharmendra was the father of four children. First wife Prakash Kaur had refused to divorce. But Dharmendra and Hema were desperate to get married. Now according to the Hindu Marriage Act, how can a second marriage be possible without a legal divorce from the first wife? According to the story, after Prakash Kaur's refusal, Dharmendra and Hema Malini decided to change their religion and get married.
The incident of this entrapment is of the year 1989. Dharmendra kept his name as Dilawar Khan and Hema Malini kept her name as Ayesha. According to the marriage contract written between the two, Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishna (aged 44) married Ayesha B. on August 21, 1989 for a dowry amount of Rs 1,11,000. (aged 29 years) as his wife. Today some people say that at that time there were many controversies over this marriage. The name of the Qazi who conducted the marriage and his statement also appeared in the then media. Dharmendra was accused of abandoning his first wife and Hema was accused of destroying a settled family.
After this, a scandal also came to light that after the secret marriage, Dharmendra and Hema Malini got married again in front of many people. Family members also participated in this. For the second time, the marriage of Dharmendra-Hema was conducted as per Iyengar customs. Dharmendra and Hema got married according to Iyengar method with consent. Hema Malini belongs to Iyengar Brahmin family. Therefore this method was adopted.

After all, what is the reality of this trap, its review is still going on. This is also mentioned in detail in Hema's biography Beyond the Dream Girl. Many interviews were conducted with Dharmendra and Hema Malini in this regard. He rejected this allegation every time. Even in Beyond the Dream Girl, the issue of changing religion has been termed as a false fact. Dharmendra kept saying again and again that I am not the kind of person who would change his religion for his own ends. Our second marriage is a very personal matter. But the question becomes important that if they did not change their religion and married again without divorce, then was this marriage not illegal? This question was raised by film lovers and fans of Dharmendra-Hema and reached the political corridors.
In 2004, when Dharmendra filed nomination papers to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Bikaner, the Congress party raised questions on his details. In the election affidavit submitted by Dharmendra, he mentioned his property in the wife column but not his wife's name. Congress raised the question that the property mentioned as wife's belongs to Prakash Kaur and not to Hema Malini. It was not at all clear from Dharmendra's affidavit whether he had two wives or Hema Malini was his only wife.
However, almost a decade later, in 2014, when Hema Malini contested the elections from Mathura Lok Sabha constituency, the name of her husband Dharmendra Deol was clearly mentioned in the affidavit she submitted. Hema Malini also gave details of the property. But Congress had also accused Hema Malini of giving wrong information in her affidavit, in response to which Hema dismissed it as a purely personal matter. It is noteworthy that Hema has always been sharing pictures with Dharmendra on social media. Even pictures of Dharmendra kept coming with his two daughters Isha and Ahana. Isha and Ahana write their surname as 'Deol'.
After the demise of Dharmendra on 24th November, today once again the discussion about the reality and entanglement of their marriage and religion is common. But the truth is that both the couples lived a successful married life without caring about the taunts and taunts of the times. Dharmendra was anyway less concerned about rumors and rumors. On the other hand, his first wife Prakash Kaur also did not want to take the dispute further. He fully supported Dharmendra. Took care of the children's upbringing. Gave importance to family unity.
However, he did not criticize Hema Malini either. He said with full force that Hema is so beautiful that any man would want to love her. However, he did not spare the film industry. She also said that in this industry, most of the heroes do the same, so why take a jibe at her husband alone? In fact, restraint and decorum were maintained by both the families. That's why Dharmendra kept saying- Criticism should be criticism, not sarcasm.
