Hema Malini says her husband, actor Dharmendra, shared a final message urging the family to stay together. In interviews, she recalls that Dharmendra repeatedly emphasized prioritizing family and spending time with their children, describing this as something he talked about consistently “over everything else.” Malini says Dharmendra urged her to be with the kids as much as possible and to remain united with the family, adding that work can continue but family should be given the highest importance.

She also comments on her bond with Dharmendra’s sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol, calling them “wonderful” and “sweet,” and says the family remains close even when they are not actively in the spotlight. Malini describes their relationships as internally united and a “happy family,” and notes that Dharmendra was loving and generous, including in the way he taught them to face life’s difficulties.

The reports present Malini’s account of Dharmendra’s last words and her reflections on the family connections she says continue within the Deol household.
