Hema Malini and the late actor Dharmendra got married in 1980 but before that the latter had another wife, Prakash Kaur. Since then, rumours have been going around that Malini doesn’t get along well with Kaur and also with her sons Sunny and Bobby Deol.

Malini recently addressed the feud. In an interview with The Times of India she said, "Ours is a very united family. That's all I can say. We are all happy with each other.”

“Please don't believe everything that is created through AI,” she added.

The actor stated that neither she nor Dharmendra cared about what was being said in the news about them or on social media.

"We never bothered about any of that. We lived our lives according to us, not for people who wanted to criticise or judge us. We lived with true love. Right from the beginning, we knew we were meant for each other. Nobody could change that,” she said.

Malini also got emotional while talking about her late husband. “I got such a wonderful soulmate. I have memories of him that I will cherish till the end of my life. He supported me in everything I did. He would say, 'Go ahead. Don't stop. Continue with your dance.' He believed dance was spiritual, and that it brought me happiness and kept me healthy.”

The veteran actress credited Dharmendra for everything she’s today. “If I am doing anything today, it is because of his support and strength. Now I miss that. He is not there and this void can never be filled. I think of him every minute. People ask whether I have processed the loss, but I don't think grief ever goes away. I miss him so much.”

Dharmendra passed away on November 24, 2025, at his Mumbai residence. He had previously been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital due to breathing difficulties, but he was discharged from the hospital on November 12.
