Bollywood is not only famous for the romantic stories shown in its films, but real life love stories are also very much discussed here. From the 60s to 2000, Bollywood has seen many memorable love stories, one of which is Hema Malini and Dharmendra.
Hema Malini and Dharmendra are considered the ideal couple of Bollywood. Their love story has always been on people's lips. But very few people know that Dharmendra was not the first choice of Hema Malini's family. There were many other relationships in her life.
According to reports, Hema Malini was almost going to marry Jeetendra. Not only this, she was also in a serious relationship with Sanjeev Kumar. Amidst all this, news also came that Hema Malini's mother wanted her daughter to marry someone else.
According to Mayapuri magazine, that person was none other than the famous actor, film director and writer Girish Karnad. It is said that Hema Malini's mother liked Girish's behavior and personality very much. This was the reason why she wanted to make him her son-in-law.
According to reports, Hema's mother Jaya also produced a film named Ratnadeep with Girish Karnad. During this time, Hema and Girish came close and started liking each other. But later this relationship could not move forward and finally Hema married Dharmendra.
Hema Malini and Sanjeev Kumar's relationship also made a lot of headlines. Both had come so close to each other that they even introduced their families and started talking about marriage. However, this relationship did not last long. Actually, Sanjeev Kumar wanted Hema to leave the film industry after marriage. Whereas Hema wanted to continue her career. This difference of opinion became the reason for distance between the two and their relationship ended here.
Hema Malini was born in a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin family to Jaya Chakraborty. She was trained in classical dance since childhood. She debuted in 1963 with the Tamil film Idhu Satyam. In 1968, she got recognition from her Bollywood debut film Sapno Ka Saudagar.
