This is something that biographer Rajiv Vijayakar has shared in his book Dharmendra: Not Just a He-Man. In the book, Rajiv shared that before Esha tied the knot with Bharat Takhtani in 2012, Prakash was indeed involved in looking for a perfect match for her stepdaughter.

“However improbable it may seem to the layman, it is absolutely believable that Dharmendra had once told me, ‘Prakash is also looking for a suitable groom for Esha,’” Rajiv shared.

Why is this claim of Rajiv surprising? Because in the marriage of Esha Deol with Bharat Takhtani, no one from Prakash Kaur’s side had come to attend the wedding.

“I touched her feet and she left after blessing me,” Esha Deol had shared in the book Hema Malini: Beyond The Dream Girl, talking about her only interaction with Prakash Kaur when she visited her house to see Dharmendra’s brother, who was ill at that time.

Hema Malini has once talked about Prakash Kaur in her biography and shared, “Though I have never spoken about Prakash, I respect her a lot. Even my daughters respect Dharamji’s family. The world wants to know about my life in detail, but that is not for others to know. It’s no one’s business.”

About Dharmendra’s Demise

The actor had complained of breathlessness but was deemed stable enough to continue recovery at home. However, his condition deteriorated unexpectedly on Monday morning, leading to his demise.
