Who is the wife of actor-turned-MP Dharmendra and husband of 'Dreamgirl' Hema Malini, a Rajya Sabha MP herself?

An RTI applicant, who wants to know if the two MPs are married to each other, has now approached the Central Information Commission on the issue, which is likely to be heard next week.

Pointing to the alleged discrepancies in the claims made by the two MPs regarding their spouse's name, the RTI applicant has requested the CIC to direct Parliament officials to furnish correct details about the them.

As per Lok Sabha dossiers, BJP MP from Bikaner, Dharmendra's wife is Prakash Deol, a housewife, whereas Rajya Sabha MP Hema Malini in her submissions has claimed Dharmendra Deol to be her husband.

The above discrepancy came to light after the Rajya Sabha secretariat in response to the query filed by Subhash Agrawal said "spouse of Hema Malini is Dharmendra and the information is based on the bio-data submitted by the MP in the House."

Agrawal, who wanted to know about the discrepancies in the answers given by both Houses of Parliament, was told by the Rajya Sabha secretariat that under the RTI Act, the resolution of discrepancies in the information available with the two secretariats is not their mandate.

Lok Sabha Secretariat through several letters mentioned that Dharmendra did not supply any information about his wife to 'Who's Who Cell.'

The only information available was based on the travel claims submitted by the MP, it said.
