Mumbai, May 3: Bollywood legend Dharmendra recently reunited with his longtime co-star Jaya Prada, who visited him along with a close family friend. The veteran actor shared warm moments from the meeting on Instagram, posting two photos with Jaya and expressing his joy:

"Jaya Prada, my lovely co-star came to see me today along with a loving family friend of hers. I am extremely happy to see them all."

Dharmendra and Jaya Prada share a rich cinematic history, having starred together in numerous blockbusters through the 1980s and 1990s. Their iconic films include Qayamat (1983), Insaaf Kaun Karega (1984), Dharm Aur Qanoon (1984), and Farishtay (1991), among others, solidifying them as one of the popular on-screen pairs of their era.

In another heartwarming milestone, Dharmendra and his wife, actress-politician Hema Malini, recently celebrated 45 years of marriage on May 2. Their daughter, Esha Deol, marked the occasion by sharing cherished family photos on social media.

“Happy anniversary mamma & papa. You are my world. Love you,” Esha wrote, accompanying pictures from her parents’ early days and a recent family portrait with sister Ahana.

Dharmendra and Hema’s love story began on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawaan in 1970. After a decade-long courtship, the couple married in 1980 and went on to have two daughters, Esha and Ahana.

At the time of his second marriage, Dharmendra was already a father to four children — Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajeeta, and Vijeeta — with his first wife Prakash Kaur.
