India, July 22 -- Months after actor Dharmendra was posthumously honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, his wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, has opened up about the family's grief. She revealed that daughters and actors Esha Deol and Ahana Deol are yet to come to terms with their father's passing. Recalling the emotional moment when she accepted Dharmendra's award in May, the 77-year-old recently told Republic World that she could see her younger daughter Ahana "crying like anything." Talking about the family's close-knit relationship with him, she revealed, "He was very fond of family, of all of us staying together. He always kept saying, 'Stay together. Never be alone. Always be with the children'." Hema also shared that her daughters are still struggling to cope with their father's death. "My daughters are mad about him. I have five grandchildren, and each of them is very fond of him.... I am happy, but at the same time I feel very sad when I see both my daughters deeply hurt and upset that Papa is not around. That void can never be fulfilled." Hema added that she herself is learning to live with the loss. "I miss his beautiful smile, attractive face and his voice. Even today, I feel he is here," she added. Dharmendra died in November last year at the age of 89. HTC...
