But like most of the love stories, this one too had a few hurdles in its way. Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur and had two sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol.
Dharmendra and Hema wanted to get married but Dharmendra's first wife Prakash Kaur refused to give him a divorce. As the ‘Hindu Marriage law' did not allow polygamy ,Dharmendra and Hema converted to Islam.
The couple finally tied the knot in 1980 and are blessed with two girls, Esha and Ahana Deol.
Starting with an election campaign for actor Vinod Khanna in Lok Sabha Elections of 1999, Hema made her entry into politics.
The BJP led NDA govt nominated her to Rajya Sabha in 2003 and in 2004 she formally joined the BJP. She has been an active and prominent member of the party and has campaigned rigorously for the party in various elections. She was once again elected to Rajya Sabha on a BJP ticket from Karnataka in 2011.
Let's have a look at some of the most exciting and adorable pictures of the 'Dream Girl' Hema Malini.
