Not Hema Malini or Prakash Kaur, THIS Bollywood heroine was madly in love with Dharmendra, despite being married, she is…

The death of veteran Bollywood star and former parliamentarian Dharmendra has sent shockwaves across the film industry and political circles. As tributes continue to pour in, a significant legal question has surfaced regarding his MP pension — which of his two wives, Prakash Kaur or Hema Malini, is legally entitled to receive it?

Dharmendra’s personal life has long drawn public attention, particularly due to his two marriages. But with his passing, the issue is no longer just a matter of curiosity — it now hinges on specific pension laws and marital legality under Indian statutes.

Under Indian law, particularly the rules governing MP pensions, benefits after a parliamentarian’s death can only be transferred to the legally valid spouse. Dharmendra first married Prakash Kaur in 1954, making hers the primary legal marriage.
