Randhir Kapoor, an actor-director belonged to the famous Kapoor clan, the most respected film families in Bollywood. Babita also hailed from a film family. She is character actor Hari Shivdasani’s daughter and niece of Sadhana, a very popular and one of the most beautiful heroines of the 1960’s.

He also marked his directorial debut with this movie which was being produced under the banner of his father Raj Kapoor. The heroine of this movie was none other than Babita who had already worked in a number of successful films before. Randhir had a crush on Babita since his school days, so he could not think of any other heroine when he was making his very first film. Upon its release, ‘Kal Aaj Aur Kal’ went on to be moderately successful at the box office. However, Randhir and Babita were appreciated everywhere because of their on-screen chemistry. Right after the release of this film, both decided to marry. Some family members were against this marriage, but they bowed down to their children’s decision.

She is the “Dream Girl” and he is the “He-man” of Bollywood. She ruled a million hearts with her charm and screen presence and he found pleasure in beating the goons on screen. So, when these gorgeous looking stars met sparks flew and they fell for each other.Dharmendra and Hema Malini are together for many decades but it was not a rosy ride for the couple.

Dharmendra was married to Prakash Kaur already at that time and was having two sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. After meeting Hema, he got so enthralled by her charm and beauty that he could not stop himself and without caring much about the world he started wooing Hema to get into a relationship.
Hema was an established and the most sought-after actresses of that time and she had already rejected marriage proposals from actors like Jeetendra and Sanjeev Kumar. Even though these actors were successful they failed to impress Hema as they didn’t have the qualities she wanted to be in her dream man. But with Dharmendra, it was different altogether.
Initially, Hema had a few reservations and did not show much interest in Dharmendra as he was already married and she was not keen to get involved with a married man having two kids. But love was bound to happen and it finally happened and they married each other in 1980. Before getting married they both converted to Islam since Dharmendra’s first wife Prakash Kaur was not willing to get divorced.
Dharmendra has two daughters, Esha and Ahaana Deol from his second marriage.
