After Dharmendra\u2019s death on November 24, the country as well as the Indian film industry was left devastated. Several fans remembered the He-Man of Bollywood fondly. But there were also many who raised speculations regarding the Deol family and troubles within, without having any facts to rely on. It all began after Dharmendra\u2019s sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol held a prayer meet for him. Dharam Paaji\u2019s wife Hema Malini<\/a> did not attend it, but organised a Gita Paath at her home on the same day. Two weeks later, Hema and her daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol hosted a separate prayer meet in Delhi. Netizens had a lot to say about it. But now, Hema has set the record straight herself.<\/p>\n

In a chat with Indian Express, Hema Malini opened up about her bond with Dharmendra\u2019s sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, from his first wife Prakash Kaur. Hema shared, \u201cIt has always been very nice and cordial. Even today it is very nice. I don\u2019t know why people think something is wrong with us. It is because people want gossip. Why should I answer them? Is it necessary for me to give an explanation? Why should I? It\u2019s my life. My personal life, our personal life. We are absolutely happy and very close to each other. That\u2019s it. I don\u2019t have anything more to say about this. I don\u2019t know what stories people are making up. So sad that people use other\u2019s grief to write a few articles. That is why I don\u2019t answer (such speculation).\u201d When asked if there will be a museum for Dharam Paaji, as rumours claim, Hema replied, \u201cThat\u2019s what Sunny is planning. So he will do it. We will consult and do it. He will tell me whatever he does, he tells me.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the interview, the veteran actor and politician was also asked if she has watched Dharmendra\u2019s last film Ikkis yet. Hema shared, \u201cI came to Mathura when it was released. I have to do my work here. Also, I can\u2019t see it now, it will be too overwhelming. That\u2019s what my daughters are also saying. Maybe I will watch it later when the wounds start healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

We wish Hema and the Deols peace as they heal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Dharmendra\u2019s death on November 24, the country as well as the Indian film industry was left devastated.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9651,89584,120612,156,8301,136992,409,111,139,69,24594],"class_list":{"0":"post-230031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bobby-deol","9":"tag-dharmendra-death","10":"tag-dharmendra-last-film","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-hema-malini","13":"tag-hema-malini-sunny-deol-relationship","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-new-zealand","16":"tag-newzealand","17":"tag-nz","18":"tag-sunny-deol"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
