She was Indian cinema's 'Dream girl', and he was the original He-Man of Bollywood. What happened when they two met? Nothing less than a sizzling love story is bound to flourish when two people with drop-dead gorgeous looks come together.
The yesteryear superstars, Hema Malini and Dharmendra, fell in love with each other in the year 1970, on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan. That time, Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur, and had two sons, Sunny and Bobby. But, that did not stop him from falling in love with Hema and wooing her. At that time, Hema also had turned down several other marriage proposals from actors like Sanjeev Kumar and Jeetendra.
Initially, Hema did not reciprocate to Dharmendra, as at that time she was not keen on getting involved with a married man. But then, love happened and they tied the knot in 1980. Before marriage both decided to convert to Islam, since Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur, did not want a divorce.
