Veteran Bollywood actress and Member of Parliament Hema Malini recently opened up about her husband Dharmendra’s reaction to the success of the film Jaat, which has struck a chord with audiences across the country. In a candid conversation, she revealed that the legendary actor is “very happy and proud” of how well the film has been received and particularly appreciates the portrayal of Punjabi culture and values.
“Jaat feels close to Dharam ji’s roots,” Hema Malini said. “It reminds him of his younger days and the stories of Punjab he grew up with. He’s delighted that such stories are reaching a wider audience now, especially with so much authenticity and emotion.”
The family has been particularly touched by the way audiences have connected with the strong family themes in the film, something Dharmendra has always championed in his own career.

Adding to the family pride, Esha Deol too shared her admiration for her half-brother Sunny Deol, who has played a key role in supporting Jaat and promoting Punjabi cinema’s resurgence. “Sunny bhaiya has always been a strong pillar for the family and for Indian cinema. His dedication and strength are truly inspiring,” Esha said. “We may not often speak publicly, but there’s immense mutual respect. I’m proud of the work he’s doing, and he deserves all the love coming his way.”
This heartwarming response from both Hema Malini and Esha Deol has been appreciated by fans, especially given the often-speculated dynamics within the extended Deol family. The public acknowledgment has added an emotional layer to Jaat‘s success, celebrating not just cinematic excellence but also the enduring bonds of family.
With the Deol legacy continuing to shine—across generations and genres—it’s clear that Jaat has done more than just entertain. It’s brought together a family that has long been an iconic part of Indian film history.
