From his first marriage to Prakash Kaur, Dharmendra has two well-known sons — Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol — who have both followed in his footsteps. Sunny, who is also a politician, continues to balance his film career with public service. His sons, Karan Deol and Rajveer Deol, have entered the film industry as well, continuing the family’s acting legacy.
Dharmendra also has two daughters from his first marriage — Ajeeta and Vijeta. Ajeeta, who lives in San Francisco, teaches psychology and is a mother to two daughters, Nikita and Priyanka Chaudhri — both dentists, with Priyanka also being a cosmetologist. Vijeta, on the other hand, is married to businessman Vivek Gill. The couple has two children — Prerna Gill, a writer and editor, and Sahil Gill.
