Hema Malini and Dharmendra are undoubtedly one of the most beloved onscreen pairs in the history of Hindi cinema. The actors got married in 1980 and share two daughters together, Esha and Aahana. While Dharmendra stays with his first wife, Prakash, and his children Sunny and Bobby with their families, Hema Malini lives alone after the wedding of her daughters separately. Recently, the actress was in Delhi for a book launch, where she talked about how people think that her family is separated from the Deols.
