Dharmendra Passes Away At 89: Veteran Actor Was Married At The Age Of 19 — Know About His First Wife, Prakash Kaur

Before his stardom, Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954 through an arranged setup when he was just 19 and far from the film industry.

Veteran Actor Dharmendra has reportedly passed away just days before his 90th birthday, with Karan Johar confirming the news through an emotional Instagram tribute.

Prakash Kaur deliberately stayed out of the limelight for decades, maintaining a quiet, dignified life despite being married to one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.

She raised their four children, Sunny, Bobby, Vijeeta, and Ajeeta, largely away from media glare, prioritising stability and privacy over public attention.

Her children later went on to distinct paths: Sunny and Bobby into acting; Vijeeta later became a psychologist; Ajeeta moved to California and pursued directing.

* Throughout Dharmendra’s rise to superstardom and the turbulence surrounding his second marriage to Hema Malini, Prakash Kaur kept a composed and private stance.

In a rare old interview with Stardust, she acknowledged the complexities of their marriage but firmly stated that despite everything, he remained “certainly the best father,” reflecting her measured and resilient perspective.
