New Delhi: Legendary actor Dharmendra passed away at the age of 89 in Mumbai. Earlier this month, he was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital, and his family confirmed that he was recuperating, but on November 24, an ambulance was spotted at his residence, and several Bollywood stars also arrived at the Pawan Hans cremation centre in Mumbai.
Dharmendra had a sprawling family, including six children, but among all, one celebrity, Abhay Deol, piques interest as a question is raised every time among fans: ‘Is Abhay Deol related to Dharmendra’s family?’
Abhay Deol is the nephew of the late Dharmendra, as the relationship between them is one of family. Abhay is the son of Dharmendra’s younger brother, Ajit Deol.
Abhay’s father kept a low profile compared to his older brother, who had an illustrious acting career. Ajit has significantly contributed to Hindi and Punjabi cinema.
Dharmendra’s family tree
Dharmendra was married to Prakash Kaur when he was just 19 years old in an arranged marriage. The couple expands their family with four children: two sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, and two daughters, Vijayta Deol and Ajeeta Deol.
After entering the film industry, Dharmendra fell in love with Hema Malini when they were both working together in Sholay in the 1970s. Later, they married each other, and the marriage sparked controversy as Dharmendra was already married with four children and simultaneously married to Hema.
Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash, refused to divorce him, but he wanted to marry Hema at all costs. Dharmendra’s first wife lives in a separate house, and his second wife, Hema, lives in a separate house.
Dharmendra and Hema expand their family with two children, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
