Bollywood’s dream girl Hema Malini is revisiting memories from the first time actress Dimple Kapadia introduced her to Dharmendra’s son, Sunny Deol.

In her biography Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, the Baghban actress recalled how Dimple acted as a bridge between the two during the shoot of Hema’s directorial debut Dil Aashna Hai.

While she admitted their conversation was mainly about work, Dimple was initially scared to take the first step.

Recounting an instance from the past, he 77-year-old revealed, “Dimple was very scared to do the shoot. She informed Sunny, and out of concern, Sunny came and met me. I assured Sunny that she would be safe, and that’s when I started talking to him.”

The Sholay actress said this paved the way for her and Sunny to build a relationship based on mutual respect. Over time, they developed a bond built on trust and concern.

For the unversed, Hema and Dharmendra tied the knot in 1980 in an intimate and unconventional wedding ceremony and later had two children, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol Vohra.
