Dharmendra passed away in Mumbai on November 24, 2025, surrounded by his family. Fondly known as the “He-Man” of Bollywood, the legendary actor is survived by his two wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, and his six children — Sunny, Bobby, Ajeeta, Vijeta, Esha, and Ahana Deol.Hema has always maintained a respectful and graceful outlook when speaking about Prakash Kaur. In her biography ‘Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl’, the actress opened up about her personal life with honesty, saying, “Though I have never spoken about Prakash, I respect her a lot. Even my daughters respect Dharamji’s family. The world wants to know about my life in detail, but that is not for others to know. It’s no one’s business.” She also addressed the misconceptions surrounding her marriage with Dharmendra, stating, “There are people who think I am weeping at home, pining for my man. I am not a police officer who needs to keep tabs on him. He knows his duty as a father and I have never had to remind him of it. Dharam-ji still treats me like he did in the initial days.”
