Hema Malini On Ahana Deol Delivering Twin Girls: 'Dharamji Says Hamari Phulwari Badi Ho Rahi Hai'-EXCLUSIVE
Hema Malini speaks exclusively to SpotboyE, shares she and Dharamji are elated on their daughter Ahana Deol delivering twin girls.
Screen legend Hema Malini’s younger daughter Ahana gave birth to twin daughters on Thursday, November 26. Hema is over the moon. “To have babies in our family after so long is such a blessing. After my daughters, Esha and Ahana were born there was a very long gap when there were no babies around us. When Esha and Ahana grew up, got married and moved out, both, my husband Dharamji and I prayed to be grandparents.”
It looks like their prayers have been answered. Laughs Hemaji joyously, “Ahana and her husband Vaibhav wanted to have twins. They had even decided the names for their twin daughters Astraia and Adea. Ahana already has a son who is like cutest. I call him little Krishna. Now there are two little girls, So it’s a full house.”
Hemaji sees this prolonged lockdown period as the ideal time for grandparenting. “Ever since Ahana got pregnant I have been shuttling between my home and hers. It is my only outing during the pandemic. Now that there are three children to be looked after at Ahana’s residence I will be spending as much time with them as possible. Ahana’s in-laws’ residence is close to mine.”
However, the iconic Dream Girl categorically states she’s a hands-off mom. “I do not interfere at all with either Esha or Ahana’s lives. They are both capable of making their own decisions. Then they’ve very capable husbands. I am very proud of both my sons-in-law. All decisions are taken by my daughters, their husbands and the husbands’ parents. After them, I’m there for anything. Even regarding spending time with Ahana’s babies, I will make sure I will be there only when they need me.”
Both Hema and her husband Dharmendra are thrilled by the new arrivals in the family. Laughs Hemaji, “Dharamji says, ‘Hamari phulwari badi ho rahi hai (our garden is growing). With Esha’s two daughters and Ahana’s three children, I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Any plans for celebrating the new arrivals? “On the eleventh day, we’ll have a formal Naam-Karan for the twins. It’ll be a strictly family affair. Just us and Ahana’s in-laws. Next year hopefully things will be normal again, and we will have a grand first birthday party for the twins.”
