Hema Malini and Dharmendra married in 1980. He clearly adores his ‘beautiful and caring’ wife. Find out what he said as he gushed about her in an old interview.

Actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini have been married for 44 years. Back in 2011, in an interview to Rediff, Dharmendra called himself 'very romantic'. He also reflected on life with his 'beautiful' wife, Hema. Speaking about his co-star in many films, Dharmendra said they 'have a chemistry that is unbelievable'. He also called her 'a very caring lady'.

'She is the most beautiful woman I know'

Hema Malini and Dharmendra's love story has been nothing less than a filmy tale.

Dharmendra said, "It has been a beautiful journey together. We have done so many films together and given so many hits. We are considered to be one of the best loved on-screen couples. We have a chemistry that is unbelievable and complement each other really well. I have always enjoyed working with her. She is the most beautiful woman I know. She is a very caring lady. I respect her a lot."

'I am very romantic'

When asked about his 'He-Man' image due to his various action films, and 'how romantic' he was in real life, the veteran actor had said, “I am very romantic. I romance with life. There is a misconception that a He-Man is always strong and cannot be romantic. When a He-Man romances, nobody can do better than him.”
