Hema Malini Held Gita Path At Home, Govinda Went To Dharmendra's Prayer Meet: Sunita Ahuja

Veteran actor and Bollywood legend Dharmendra passed away this month at the age of 89. On Thursday, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol had organised a special prayer meeting to honour his legacy at a Mumbai hotel. On the same day, Hema Malini held a Gita path at home. Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja visited Hema Malini's residence and recounted her experience, as quoted by SCREEN.

Sunita said, “Hema ji had kept a path of Bhagavad Gita and bhajans. So, we all listened to the bhajans. I couldn't stop crying in front of Hema ji." When asked about how Hema Malini was coping with her loss, she said, “What can one say… It's a huge loss. He was such a legend. I couldn't stop crying. He was my childhood crush. I respect their family so much. I am really broken at the moment."

Talking about a fond memory with Dharmendra, Sunita recalled, “I had performed with Dharam ji on Sony TV to ‘Chalkaye Jaam'. I had shared the stage with him… it was so special for me. I respect him and his family a lot. I'm very close to Esha Deol too… my whole family is. We are big fans of Dharmendra ji."

She added, “In fact, I got married to Govinda because I felt he resembled Dharmendra. He is not that handsome; Dharmendra ji was the most handsome man in the industry. He was a true He-Man of the industry and worked till the very last. He was a true desi, a largehearted man."

Sunita recalled, “I met him two months earlier during Ganpati. I went with my son, Yashvardhan. Esha had invited me for Ganpati. When Yash was born, I always wished that he had the qualities and looks of Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra."

She mentioned, “Yash and I are very much in contact with Esha. Hema ji also loves us a lot. After Dharmendra ji passed away, Govinda visited Sunny and Bobby Deol to pay condolences. I couldn't go then as I was not in Mumbai. When I returned, I got to know about the prayer meet. So I went there on Thursday."

Sunita Ahuja said that she could only attend the prayer meet at Hema Malini's house and not the one organised by the Deols at a Mumbai hotel. However, she mentioned that Govinda did reach the hotel and met Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. “I couldn't go there. I just met Hema ji and Esha. Govinda went to pay tribute to Dharam ji at the prayer meet," she concluded.
