But they never showed that on the set. They were always professional. Set pe toh alag alag hi rehte the (on the set, they kept their distance from each other).\u201dSeparate rooms, separate circlesThe 71-year-old stuntwoman further shared that actors of the earlier era valued privacy when it came to relationships.\u201cPehle ke log, alag alag hi hote the aur set pe nahi dikhate the (actors from the old days were really different in private and didn\u2019t reveal it on set). They were in the same hotel, but in different rooms. In their free time, Dharamji stayed with his team and Hemaji spent time with hers \u2014 I was part of her team too.\u201dAn enduring love storyReshma expressed pride in seeing the couple together even after decades.\u201cToday, I feel proud to see them still together. They are an icon and inspiration for all couples,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>When Dharmendra opened up about sticking to Bollywood and not making a name in Hollywood<\/p>\n<p>Hema and Dharmendra first met in 1970 while working on Tum Haseen Main Jawaan and tied the knot in 1980.
