Hema Malini has been making headlines for her recent interview with Lehren TV. During the course of the interview, the veteran actress spoke about her career, family dynamic and more. Hema Malini spoke about what it's like living away from husband and veteran actor Dharmendra and she said that she "doesn't feel sad about it." When the interviewer told Hema Malini that people call her a "symbol of feminism" for living in her own house after marriage, the actress said, "Symbol of feminism?" She added, "Nobody wants to be like that, it happens. Automatically, naturally what happens, you have to accept. Otherwise, nobody will feel like they want to live their life like this. No! Every woman wants to have a husband, children, like a normal family. But somewhere, it went out of the way."
Hema Malini added that Dharmendra has always been there and said, "I am not feeling bad about it or sulking or feeling sad about it. I am happy with myself. I have my two children, and I have brought them up very well. Of course, he (Dharmendra) is there, always. Everywhere. Naturally he has to do it. He was the one worried, 'Shaadi hona chaiye bachchon ka jaldi' (The kids should get married early). I said Hoga (It'll happen). When the time is right, the right person will come around. With the blessings of God and guru ma, everything happened."

Dharmendra married Hema Malini, a top film star of the time, in 1980. The actor has two daughters - Esha and Ahana - with Hema Malini. Before venturing into films, Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954 at the age of 19. They are parents to four children together - Sunny, Bobby Vijeeta and Ajeeta.
