Dharmendra & Hema Malini’s marriage in 1980 sparked rumors of conversion.

Claims suggested they converted to Islam to make the marriage possible.

Allegedly adopted names: Dharmendra as Dilawar, Hema as Ayesha Bi.

Rumors said they held a nikaah before an Iyengar wedding.

Story re-emerged during Dharmendra’s 2004 political campaign.

Dharmendra’s property disclosures listed only his first wife, Prakash Kaur.

Hema Malini’s Rajya Sabha nomination added to the speculation.

Dharmendra denied any conversion, stating he wouldn’t change his beliefs.

Hema Malini dismissed these claims, keeping their relationship private.

Both stars chose to stay focused on their family and professional lives.
