Move over, Netflix drama—real life just served up a plot twist from the 1950s. Bobby Deol’s sweet anniversary post for his parents, Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur, has social media doing a double take—and not just because of the vintage vibes.

Celebrating 71 years (yes, you read that right) of marriage, Bobby dropped a rare photo of his parents looking positively radiant.

Dharmendra, garlanded and grinning, is all smiles next to Prakash Kaur—the woman he married back in 1954, long before fame, fame-adjacent feuds, and his iconic second act as Hema Malini’s husband.

Yep. The man has two marriages. Simultaneously. And no, there was never a divorce in sight. The comment section went up in flames understandably.

Fans are swooning over the old-school love in the photo—but also whispering, “What about Hema?” Because let’s not forget: Dharmendra famously married the Dream Girl in 1980, without ever legally separating from Prakash. Bigamy is illegal, but Bollywood legends apparently operate on their own script.

Still, Prakash Kaur, who’s kept a dignified distance from the limelight for decades, remains the OG wife. This rare public moment? A mic drop without a single word.

Bobby captioned it simply: “Happy anniversary Maa and Papa ❤️”
The Internet replied: “Make it make sense.”

Dharmendra, now all set to return to the screen in Ikkis, may have had a complicated personal life—but one thing’s clear: Prakash Kaur never left. And on social media today, she’s the queen getting her flowers. Finally.
