Did Dharmendra Ever Live With Both Wives, Prakash And Hema Malini? Their Joint Pic Sparks Rumour

Bollywood veteran actor, Dharmendra's personal life has been a long-standing source of public fascination and gossip due to his controversial dual marriages. He tied the knot with 'dream girl' Hema Malini while still married to his first wife, Prakash Kaur. This highly unconventional and public family dynamic has remained a subject of discussion for decades. Recently, Bobby Deol confirmed that his father, Dharmendra, is living with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, and not with Hema Malini. Amid that, Hema's comment about her imperfect marriage and her joint pic with Dharmendra and Prakash resurfaced.

Did Dharmendra ever live with both wives? Truth behind his joint pic with Hema Malini and Prakash

A single rare photograph of Dharmendra with both his wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, together has been circulating online. The image resurfaced amid Bobby Deol's revelations that his parents are currently living together and enjoying a nice, slow life surrounded by greenery. Regarding the joint photo of Dharmendra, his first wife, Prakash Kaur and his second wife, Hema Malini, it is reportedly real, and not AI-generated or fan-made. However, there's a catch to it. The vintage, black-and-white group photo featuring Dharmendra and his two wives was taken at an event decades ago.

He is seen in a suit, while both Hema Malini and Prakash Kaur are in sarees. Their joint appearance does not indicate that the trio lived together. Hema Malini herself mentioned encountering Prakash Kaur at public events; however, they never met one-on-one in private. Their viral joint snap was taken before Dharmendra and Hema Malini were officially married, and it isn't clear whether the two of them were even romantically involved back then. While the exact date isn't known, some reports suggest that it was taken about 47 years ago. Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954, when he was 18. He then married Hema Malini in 1980, at 45, without divorcing Prakash.

Dharmendra is currently living with his first wife, Prakash Kaur

In a recent interview with ABP Live, Bobby Deol, the younger son of Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur, shared that his 'papa and mummy are currently together.' According to Bobby, his parents were living at their farmhouse in Khandala. This was revealed in an interview where Bobby addressed questions about his father's sometimes emotional social media posts, clarifying that Dharmendra is not lonely and enjoys a peaceful life with Prakash Kaur. His second wife, Hema Malini, lives in her own house in Mumbai and rarely gets to see Dharmendra.

How did Dharmendra marry Hema Malini without divorcing Prakash Kaur?

Dharmendra reportedly converted to Islam to marry Hema Malini in 1980, as Muslim personal law at the time allowed a man to have more than one wife without divorcing the first. Reports from the time indicate that Dharmendra adopted the name Dilawar Khan, and Hema Malini changed her name to Aisha B R for the nikah ceremony. It was a way to legally circumvent the Hindu Marriage Act, which enforces monogamy and would not have permitted his second marriage while still married to Prakash Kaur. However, both Dharmendra and Hema Malini refuted the reports.

Despite the circumstances, Prakash Kaur publicly defended her husband against critics. In a 1981 interview with Stardust, she refuted accusations of him being a 'womaniser,' though she disapproved of the situation as a wife and mother. She praised Dharmendra as a dedicated father to their children, stating, "He may not be the best husband, though he is very good to me, but he is certainly the best father."
