Reportedly, when Dharmendra was informed about the same, he was panic-stricken. The former went on to call Shobha, who was Jeetendra’s girlfriend back then, and the duo then jetted off to Chennai to stop the so-called wedding, as added by the reports. How Dharmendra convinced Hema Malini to not marry the Himmatwala actor yet remains unknown. And later, Dharmendra married Hema Malini and for the rituals, he also adopted the religion of Islam because he was already married and could not marry another woman, being a Hindu, says the reports.
