The romance between Dharmendra and Hema Malini is one of the most enduring, fascinating, and unconventional love stories in Bollywood history. Despite the public scrutiny surrounding their 1980 marriage (as Dharmendra was already married to his first wife, Prakash Kaur), the Dream Girl has always spoken about her 'He-Man' with deep affection and unapologetic clarity.

In a rare and candid throwback interview from 1976—before their marriage—Hema Malini openly addressed the possibility of marrying the man she loved, setting the stage for their eventual union.

The Bold Confession: 'So Many Things in Common':

The most striking revelation came when Hema Malini was directly asked about the future of her relationship with her then-frequent co-star, Dharmendra. Her response was clear and definitive, cutting through the rumors of the time:

"People ask, would I have married him if he were unmarried and available? Of course, I would have married him if he was a bachelor. After all, when we have so many things in common between us, should we not have been married had he been single?”

This quote perfectly encapsulated her deep connection with Dharmendra, emphasizing that their bond was not a casual fling but a profound compatibility based on shared values and mutual respect.

What They Shared: The Common Ground:

Mutual Trust: Hema revealed that Dharmendra was her "one true friend" in the industry, one she would never "cut out" of her life.

Deep Rapport: They shared their professional troubles, with Dharmendra seeking her opinions on his roles and career direction, showing immense professional and personal respect.

Unasssuming Friendship: She recalled being instantly impressed by his "rugged handsomeness" and, most of all, his "unassuming friendliness" during their first meeting at the Aasmaan Mahal premiere.

The Reality of an Unconventional Marriage:

While Hema Malini's 1976 statement expressed her ideal wish, their real-life marriage was defined by compromise and dignity. After tying the knot, Hema Malini made a conscious and mature choice to maintain distance out of respect for Dharmendra's first family.

In her authorized biography, Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl, the actress reflected on this unconventional arrangement:

"I didn't want to disturb anyone. I am happy with whatever Dharam ji did for me and my daughters."

She chose not to live in the same home as Dharmendra, focusing instead on raising their daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, with strength and independence.

Timeless Love: The Enduring Legacy:

The Dream Girl’s candid acceptance of her life’s circumstances—from wishing for a single husband to embracing an unconventional marriage—showcases her quiet strength. Despite the societal criticism and being labeled "the other woman," Hema Malini affirmed that her happiness and love for Dharmendra were paramount.

Today, their relationship, having endured over four decades and producing two beautiful daughters, remains a testament to a unique love that defied Bollywood conventions and public expectations.
