Prakash Kaur married Dharmendra in 1954, when he was just 19 years old and before he had entered the film industry. The couple had four children together: sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, who both followed their father into acting, and two daughters, Vijeta and Ajeita Deol.

Prakash Kaur's Rare Interview Reveals Her Perspective on Dharmendra's Second Marriage

In a rare and widely-cited 1981 interview with Stardust magazine, Prakash Kaur broke her silence to defend her husband. She famously stated, "Why only my husband? Any man would have preferred Hema over me," a poignant comment that acknowledged the complexity of the situation. She also defended Dharmendra's character, pushing back against the "womanizer" label and highlighting his role as a dedicated father to their children.

Prakash Kaur's comments revealed her deep respect for her husband. She said that while he might not have been "the best husband," he was "certainly the best father" and had been "the first and last man" in her life. She also expressed empathy for Hema Malini, but maintained that as a wife and a mother, she could not approve of her actions. This interview stands as a powerful testament to her personal strength and her ability to navigate a difficult situation with a sense of grace.

Prakash Kaur continues to be a central, albeit private, figure in the Deol family. She made a rare public appearance at her grandson Karan Deol's wedding, where she was seen alongside her sons and husband. Her enduring presence in the family underscores the complex and often private realities of celebrity life.
