Veteran actor Dharmendra died on November 24, 2025. Following his death, his first wife, Prakash Kaur, and their children, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajeita Deol, and Vijeta Deol, organised a prayer meet in Mumbai. Notably, his second wife, Hema Malini and her daughters, Esha and Ahana Deol, were not only absent from the prayer meet, but they hosted a separate prayer meeting on the same day. This sparked speculation of a rift between the two families. Now, Hema Malini has reacted to rumours of a rift between the two families and also broke her silence about the separate prayer meets.

Hema Malini about two prayer meets

During a recent conversation with Times Of India, Hema Malini addressed the issue of hosting separate prayer meets and said, “Yeh humare ghar ka personal mamla hai. We talked to each other. I kept one prayer meeting at my home because my group of people are different. Then, I kept one in Delhi because I am in politics, and it was important for me to keep a prayer meeting there for my friends from that field. Mathura is my constituency, and the people there are mad about him. So, I kept a prayer meeting there as well. I am happy with what I did."
