Overview
- In her first extensive interviews since Dharmendra’s November 24 death at 89, Hema Malini described an inconsolable shock and said the family stayed together through his final illness.
- She said she hosted prayer meetings at her Mumbai home, in Delhi and in Mathura, separate from the November 27 Mumbai gathering organised by Prakash Kaur with Sunny and Bobby Deol, because her guest circles differ.
- Hema Malini dismissed speculation about a family split, saying everything is fine and urging people not to worry about narratives of “two separate families.”
- She said Sunny Deol is planning to convert Dharmendra’s Lonavala farmhouse into a museum for fans, characterising it as an initiative he intends to carry out.
- She plans to resume political duties and live performances, and she cautioned against misleading online videos while recounting intrusive media behavior during Dharmendra’s illness.
