Dharmendra:Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishn
Dharmendra (born as Dharam Singh Deol) is one of the most charismatic actors that Indian cinema has ever had. The dashing actor had reportedly converted to Islam in 1979. The actor was married to Prakash Kaur when he fell in love with actress Hema Malini. He didn’t want to divorce his wife but could not marry again as per the Hindu Marriage Act. So he converted to Islam and married Hema. Since then he has maintained two separate families. It is said that since there were many protests during his second marriage, the actor had no other option than to change his religion to legitimise his union with Hema Malini.

In Islam shariyath gives reason to get married second like if a man’s first wife is healthy I’ll or having no children for many years after marriage and discomfort in the family you can marry to take care of your parents….having no knowledge of the shariyath all nonsense saying…….
This is called opportunism, they are using religion to meet their personal selfish interests…these people hv no faith in Islam but hv used Islam to meet their need.
