Hema Malini was set to marry this man secretly despite being in a relationship with Dharmendra, wedding was stopped at last minute after Sholay actor…
Yes, the story behind the love triangle is that since Dharmendra was already a married man, Hema's parents were never in favour of their relationship. They tried every possible attempt to get Hema away from Dharmendra. In the same scenario, Hema Malini's wedding was fixed with a Bollywood superstar of that time.
Hema's parents wanted her to marry Jeetendra. During this time, Jeetendra was already dating his childhood friend and cabin crew Shobha Sippy, and he knew that Hema had affection for Dharmendra. Despite knowing all this, Jeetendra said yes to the proposal.
According to a report in Indian Express, a close friend of Jeetendra has mentioned this incident in Ram Kamal Mukherjee's book Beyond the Dream Girl. As per the book, Jeetendra never wanted to marry Hema, but it was because of his family that he said yes.
The families fixed Hema and Jeetendra's wedding in a temple in Chennai. However, things went haywire when Dharmendra got to know about the secret wedding. Without any delay, he reached Chennai and hindered the wedding.
Drunk, Dharmendra created a huge ruckus, and Hema's father lost his cool. He told the actor, 'You are married, get out of my daughter's life.' However, Dharmendra flatly refused to go; rather, he asked for permission to talk to Hema Malini alone.
Hema's father allowed her to talk to Dharmendra alone for some time. After this, when Hema came back after talking to Dharmendra, she asked her father for some time to get married. This made Jeetendra's family extremely angry.
Out of rage, the Farz actor's parents asked Hema to answer a yes or no about the wedding. Under pressure, Hema flatly refused. Upon hearing this, Jeetu's family left in anger.
After this entire controversy, Dharmendra did not marry Hema on the same day, but they got married in 1980. After marriage, Hema gave birth to two lovely daughters – Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
