Before marrying Hema Malini in 1980, Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954. The couple has four children, two sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, and two daughters Ajita Deol and Vijeta Deol. The 87-year-old actor also has two daughters with Hema, namely Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.

There was news that Dharmendra had remarried without divorcing Prakash Kaur. At that time the Sholay star was given the tag of 'womanizer' in media reports. Kaur then came to the defense of the veteran actor and said that he may not be the best husband, but he is definitely the best father.

Speaking to Stardust in 1981, Kaur had said, "Why only my husband, any man would prefer Hema to me. How dare anyone calls my husband a womanizer when half the industry is doing the same thing." All the heroes are having affairs and getting married for the second time. He may not be the best husband, though he is very good to me, but he is definitely the best father. His children love him very much. He never ignores them.

Although Kaur did not blame Hema Malini, she said that she would never have done what the Baghban actress did. "I can understand what Hema is going through. Even she has to face the world, her relatives, and her friends. But if I were in Hema's place, I would not have done what she did. A woman Being me, I can understand his feelings. But as a wife and a mother, I don't accept them."

"He is the first and last man in my life. He is the father of my children. I love and respect him a lot. What happened is what happened. I don't know if I should blame him or fate. But one thing is certain, no matter how far he is from me, and no matter what happens, if I need him, I know he will be there. I have not lost my trust in him. After all, he Is the father of my children."
