Veteran actor Dharmendra, known for his iconic roles in Sholay and Chupke Chupke, has been discharged from the Breach Candy Hospital after a brief stay. The 89-year-old Bollywood legend will continue his recovery at home. Dharmendra's family has requested the public to respect their privacy and refrain from speculation about his health. Dharmendra's family tree is as impressive as his acting career. With two marriages and six children, the Deol family remains a prominent force in Indian cinema. Let's take a closer look at his family. Dharmendra's first marriage was to Prakash Kaur in 1954, before he entered the film industry. The couple has four children: Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta, and Ajeeta. Sunny Deol, the eldest, has become one of India's top action stars, known for his intense performances in films like Ghayal, Border, and Gadar. He has appeared in over 100 movies and is married to Lynda "Pooja" Deol. Their sons, Karan and Rajveer, have joined the film industry, carrying forward the Deol legacy. Bobby Deol, Dharmendra's second son, made his debut in the 1990s and gained fame for hits like Gupt, Soldier, and Humraaz. He has made a strong comeback with Animal and the web series Aashram. Bobby is married to businesswoman and interior designer Tanya Ahuja Deol and they have two sons, Aryaman and Dharam. Dharmendra's elder daughter, Vijeta Deol, stays away from the limelight and lives in New Delhi. She serves as a director at Rajkamal Holdings and Trading Pvt. Ltd and is married to businessman Vivek Gill. They have two children, Prerna and Sahil. The youngest, Ajeeta Deol, is settled in California with her husband and lives a private life away from films. She has two daughters, Nikita and Priyanka Chaudhri, both dentists, with Priyanka also working as a cosmetologist. Dharmendra's second marriage was to Hema Malini in 1980, after meeting on-screen. The couple has two daughters, Esha and Ahana. Esha Deol, born in 1981, followed her parents into films and made her debut in 2002. She has starred in movies like Dhoom, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, and Yuva. Esha is married to businessman Bharat Takhtani and they have two daughters, Radhya and Miraya. However, the couple announced their divorce in early 2024. Ahana Deol, the younger daughter, is married to Delhi-based businessman Vaibhav Vohra and they have three children, including twin daughters and a son. Like her mother, Ahana is a trained classical dancer but largely stays out of the spotlight.
