Prakash is a typical old school woman with internalised misogyny. She had blamed herself for not being good looking when Dharam married Hema and said anyone would choose Hema over her. Her old interview was sad and shared on this forum a decade ago.
I am not surprised she blames Dimple and sees no fault in her straying son and has no issue with Dharam's affairs, second marriage, drinking, flirting with co stars or female fans and guests on TV shows till date.
Hema was fascinated by Dharam's fair complexion. He was one of fittest stars of his time and a very fair skinned man when he was young. Hema once admitted she fell in love at first sight and was fascinated by Dharam's fair complexion.
I feel she was superficial. She was madly in love with Dharam and ignored all red flags and warnings. He too never let any other man come close to her.
Plenty of women back then felt he was a Greek god. Jaya was also fascinated by him and called him greek god. Even some men used to call him handsome. Dilip Kumar had once said kaash mujhe Allah ne Dharmendra jaisa haseen chehra diya hota.
Sunny has been bitter ever since action films era was over and romantic or message films era came up. Deols never had good script sense. They are old school and stuck in 70s and 80s style cinematic sense. They also hated PR, marketing and social media.
