Dimple Kapadia once candidly told Hema Malini during a difficult phase in Hema's relationship with Rajesh Khanna, "Dharmendra will never marry you." This moment reflected the frank, sisterly bond between the two actresses. Dimple married Rajesh Khanna when she was just 16 and struggled with loneliness and isolation while he was busy, which led her to find warmth and companionship in Hema's family. Despite working frequently with Rajesh Khanna, Hema never personally liked him and instead formed a deep friendship with Dimple, who she regarded as a younger sister. Their relationship expanded from empathy around personal struggles to professional collaborations and enduring camaraderie in Bollywood[2][1]. Hema Malini herself later married Dharmendra, despite the complexity of the situation since he was already married. She has spoken about having no regrets about her marriage with Dharmendra and emphasized living her life with dignity and respect without intruding on his first family[4][3]. The sentiment expressed by Dimple underscores the mix of personal and professional dynamics among these Bollywood icons during challenging emotional times.
