Spend time with the children, with the family. He always said, reunite with the family, which is very important in today’s times, but that doesn’t really happen now. Now, the children go their own ways.”Hema and Dharmendra got married in 1980 and have two daughters – Aisha Dell and Ahana Deol. At that time, Dharmendra was married to Prakash Kaur and had four children – sons Sunny and Bobby, and daughters Ajitha and Vijayta. Dharmendra lived with Prakash till the end, while Hema lived in a house across the street.When Hema was asked about Dharmendra’s “last message”, she said, “This is exactly what he said, ‘Be with the family. Be with all of them. Work can go on but family should be considered the most important’.”Hema was also asked about Sunny and Bobby, whom she described as “great boys”. “They are very sweet. Sunny is very nice. Bobby is very nice. We are always together. We don’t do any promotion, but internally we are all very good. We are all very united. We are a very happy family,” she said.In the same chat, Hema was asked to talk about certain aspects of Dharmendra’s life that his fans may not be aware of. “What can I say about such a great man? Words are inadequate,” she said, adding, “He was always grounded.”“If he was in the house and heard a commotion outside, he always wanted to know what was going on. If anyone came to take a picture with him, no matter who it was, he would say, “Tell them to come in.” He would see everyone and feed them all. He liked people very much. He was very good at poetry and he loved sharing it with his fans,” she said.“I have worked with him for so many years. He has always been a generous and loving man,” she said, adding, “He tells everyone that no matter what difficulty comes in life, you have to face it and solve it.” She described him as a “very loving father” and “a very loving naanu (grandfather).” “I don’t know how much the kids miss him,” she said.
