THE DREAM COUPLE

Bonds develop over a period of time, but their true essence lasts beyond a lifetime. Such is the tale of Bollywood's He-Man Dharmendra Deol (DD) and Dream Girl Hema Malini (HM). Poetically if nothing lasts forever, their union is something like nothing. The two have been together for more than four decades, and their eternal love story still smells like fresh roses plucked out of a cupid's garden.

His shelf holds the base to several recognitions, including the Padma Bhushan and the National Film Award, apart from Filmfare, IIFA, and many more.

Hema Malini, popularly known as the Dream Girl, is also an Indian actor, director, producer and Member of Parliament.

Trained Bharatnatyam dancer, HM has also been a part of several television productions, editor of women's magazine, and an active politician.

The Dream Girl stepped into Bollywood in 1968 when women weren't still in the limelight of the big screen when actresses had to bring all on the palette that they could.
