On the sets of SHOLAY (1975), Dharmendra fell in love with Hema Malini, his co-star in many films. Their romance was legendary. Dharmendra converted to Islam in 1979, and changed his name to Dilawar Khan, to marry Hema Malini. He did so, because his first wife Prakash was not ready to divorce him. And in accordance with the Hindu Marriage Act it is illegal for a Hindu to get re-married when his first wife is still alive. On 2nd May 1980, Dharmendra got married to Hema Malini. Dharmendra has two daughters from Hema Malini, Esha Deol, who is an actress and Ahana Deol. When Esha Deol decided to become an actress, Dharmendra was vocal about his displeasure regarding her career choice, as he did not feel that the Mumbai film industry was suitable for girls. Dharmendra was also romantically involved with actress Meena Kumari, his co-star in PHOOL AUR PATTHAR (1966).
