Karan Deol’s wedding: First reaction from Hema Malini’s family; Esha Deol congratulates newlyweds

Veteran actor Dharmendra’s grandson Karan Deol, son of Sunny Deol, married his longtime girlfriend Drisha Acharya in Mumbai on June 18. The wedding ceremony was attended by family and close friends, but what grabbed everyone’s attention was the absence of Dharmendra’s second wife Hema Malini and their daughters Esha and Ahana from all ceremonies.

Now, Esha has congratulated her step-nephew on his wedding with Drisha on Instagram stories. She wrote, ‘Congratulations, Karan and Drisha. Wishing you both a lifetime of togetherness and happiness. Lots of love.’

For the unversed, before marrying Hema Malini, Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur and had four children- sons Sunny and Bobby and daughter Vijeeta and Ajeita. Dharmendra reportedly tied the knot with Hema Malini in 1980 without divorcing his first wife and their wedding had become a top of discussion in the media.

In an earlier interview with Deccan Chronicle, Hema Malini said, ‘The minute I saw Dharam ji, I knew he was the man for me. I wanted to spend my life with him.

I also wanted to make sure that the marriage hurt nobody. His first wife and children have never felt my intrusion in their lives. I married him, but I never took him away from his first family.’
