I am happy with whatever Dharamji did for me and my daughters.” The actress’ decision came from a place of grace and having respect towards everyone involved including Dharmendra’s first wife Prakash Kaur and his children. The actress also spoke about being called ‘the other woman’ and said, “Fingers were pointed. Accusations were flung at us. I knew people discussed me behind my back. I just knew that he made me happy. And all I wanted was happiness.”
Dismissing the notion that her unconventional marriage left her isolated, Hema offered a measured perspective on her relationship dynamics. “I am not a police officer who needs to keep tabs on him. I don’t need to show people a roll-call register of how many days he visits me. He knows his duty as a father, and I’ve never had to remind him of it.”In a conversation with Lehren Retro earlier, she acknowledged the unique circumstance in her life and living separately from Dharmendra despite marrying him. She had said, “Nobody wants to live like this. But automatically, what happens, you have to accept. I am not sulking about it. I am happy with myself. I have my two children, and I have brought them up well.”Dharmendra and Hema Malini have two children together – Esha and Ahana Deol.Dharmendra Health Updates: Hema Malini and Esha Deol rubbish reports of the actor’s death
