dharmendra and hema malini met for the first time in 1970 on the sets of the film 'Tum Haseen Main Jawan'. During this time, both of them fell in love with each other, after which dharmendra, who was already married, got married for the second time in 1980. The actor's first wife Prakash Kaur reacted to dharmendra and hema Malini's marriage. She said that she is not beautiful and in such a situation any person would choose hema over her.
In an interview given to Stardust in 1981, Prakash Kaur said- 'Why only my husband, any man would want to give priority to hema over me. How dare anyone call my husband a womanizer, when half the industry is doing this. The only thing is that all the actors are having affairs and they are getting married for the second time.'
Prakash Kaur had said- 'He may not be the best husband, although he is very good to me, but he is the best father, his children love him very much. Let us tell you that there were reports that on hearing about father's second marriage, son sunny deol attacked hema malini with a knife. In such a situation, Prakash Kaur had given clarification.'
Prakash had said- 'This is not right, every child wants his father to love his mother the most. This does not mean that he will kill the other woman who loves his father. I am neither very educated nor beautiful, but in the eyes of my children, I am the best mother in the world. Similarly, for me my children are the best in the world. I have full faith in my children that none of my children can harm anyone.'
