Sunny, Bobby Deol skip Ahana's wedding

Ahana with husband Vaibhav Vora

Highlights

  • Ahana Deol, second daughter of actors Hema Malini and Dharmendra, married businessman Vaibhav Vora in Mumbai in a big fat Bollywood wedding on February 2. Two familiar faces were missing from among the celebrity guests who came dressed in their best - the bride's elder half-brothers Sunny and Bobby Deol.
  • Their's was an expected absence, however, and was not remarked on as it was in 2012 when both skipped Ahana's elder sister Esha's wedding, raising eyebrows. A source told news agency IANS ahead of the wedding: "Neither Dharamji nor Hemaji would want to hurt Prakashji (Sunny and Bobby's mother). The family has decided it's better if Sunny and Bobby stay away."
  • Deol patriarch Dharmendra's private life has been distinctly unorthodox ever since he married Sholay co-star Hema Malini in 1980. At the time, Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Deol and their sons, Sunny and Bobby, were over 20 and a pre-teen respectively.
  • Dharmendra, who converted to Islam to marry Hema, never divorced his first wife and has maintained two separate families ever since.
  • Sunny and Bobby's absence was more than made up for by a large contingent of VIP guests including the Bachchans, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
