Hema Malini
and Dharmendra, the beloved golden couple of Bollywood, celebrated their
wedding anniversary
on May 2. Their daughter,
Esha Deol
, marked the occasion by sharing a heartwarming unseen picture on Instagram. In the snapshot, Hema Malini leans affectionately on
Dharmendra
‘s shoulder, radiating love and happiness.
Esha Deol expressed her love and admiration for her parents in the caption, stating, “Happy anniversary to my papa & mamma.
I adore you, I love you & I just want to hug you.” The image encapsulates the enduring bond shared by the veteran actors, evident in their joyful smiles and relaxed demeanor.
In a recent interview with News18, Hema Malini reflected on Dharmendra’s initial apprehension about her foray into politics. She revealed that Dharmendra was initially reluctant, cautioning her about the challenges of political life based on his own experiences. Despite his reservations, Hema Malini embraced the opportunity as a challenge, determined to make a difference.
Addressing the logistical challenges, Hema Ji acknowledged Dharmendra’s concern about the demanding nature of political commitments. She highlighted the constant public attention and travel demands faced by film stars turned politicians, particularly citing the overwhelming response Dharmendra received from fans. Despite the challenges, Hema Malini emphasized her ability to manage effectively, underscoring the gendered dynamics inherent in navigating public life.
The couple’s journey, marked by mutual support and understanding, reflects their unwavering commitment to each other’s aspirations. Another example of the same is Hema Malini’s reaction to Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s on-screen kiss for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.’ Last year at a book launch, Hema was asked about her reaction to the kiss, and with utmost grace she replied. The actress confessed that though she didn’t see it, she is sure that people are showering a lot of love to the film.
“I am so happy for Dharam ji, because he loves to be in front of the camera all the time. He loves it,” she added.
As they celebrate another milestone in their enduring relationship, Hema Malini and Dharmendra continue to inspire generations with their timeless love and unwavering support for each other, both on and off the screen.
