Dharmendra's Family: Know All About His 2 Wives, 6 Children And 13 Grandchildren

Bollywood's 'He-Man' Dharmendra passes away at the age of 89 on November 24. The veteran actor has been receiving medical treatment at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai since last month. Bollywood actors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and other members of the fraternity, came together to pay their final respects to the veteran actor.

Dharmendra’s wife, Hema Malini, and kids, Esha Deol, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol, have reached the cremation centre. When news of his deteriorating health spread, several industry insiders and actors, including Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda, Salman Khan, and Ameesha Patel, also visited at the hospital to inquire about his well-being last week.

As fans and friends continue to mourn for the veteran actor’s demise, let us tell you about his two wives and six children, to his thirteen grandchildren.

Dharmendra’s first marriage

Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur at the age of 19, before he began his acting career or joined the film industry. Together, they have four children: Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta Deol, and Ajeeta Deol.

What do Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta and Ajeeta Deol do?

Dharmendra and Prakash’s eldest son, Sunny Deol, got into the spotlight with blockbuster films such as Ghayal, Border, and Gadar. He married Pooja Deol in 1984, and they have two sons, Karan and Rajveer.

Their younger son, Bobby Deol, made his acting debut in Dharam Veer (1977). He married Tanya Ahuja in 1996, the daughter of a well-known banker. They have two sons, Aryaman and Dharam.

Dharmendra and Prakash’s second daughter, Vijeta Deol, is married to Vivek Gill. The couple has two children, Prerna and Sahil. Vijeta reportedly serves as the director of Rajkamal Holdings and Trading Pvt. Ltd., a company she has been part of since its establishment in 1988.

The youngest daughter, Ajeeta Deol, lives in the United States with her husband, Dr Kiran Chaudhri, a dentist. They have two daughters, Nikita, who is also a dentist, and Priyanka. Ajeeta is said to be a teacher.

Dharmendra’s second marriage

When Dharmendra joined the film industry, he met Hema Malini on a film set, and they soon fell in love. The duo went on to star in several successful films, including Sholay in the 1970s. Eventually, they got married, but their union sparked controversy because Dharmendra was already married and had four children. 

Reports claimed that his first wife, Prakash, refused to grant him a divorce, and Dharmendra was determined to marry Hema. As a result, both reportedly converted to Islam, changed their names, and tied the knot. However, in 2004, Dharmendra dismissed these rumours.

What do Isha and Ahana Deol do?

Dharmendra and Hema Malini have two daughters, Esha and Ahana Deol. Esha made her acting debut in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe (2002) and appeared in popular films such as Dhoom and No Entry. She married Bharat Takhtani in 2012, and they have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya, though the couple separated in 2024.

Ahana Deol, who appeared briefly in Na Tum Jano Na Hum, married Vaibhav Vora in 2014. They are parents to a son, Darien, and twin daughters, Adea and Astraia.
