The legendary Bollywood couple, Dharmendra and Hema Malini, captivated audiences with their on-screen chemistry, but their off-screen love story was equally intriguing. Their romance blossomed on the set of 'Tum Haseen Main Jawan,' where reel love gradually transformed into a real-life relationship. However, hurdles emerged in the form of Dharmendra's existing marriage to Prakash Kaur and the legal constraints of the Hindu Marriage Act, which prohibited Hindu men from having multiple wives.

In 1980, they exchanged vows as Dilawar and Aisha, laying the foundation for their family with the arrival of daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol in the following years.
