Dinesh Kamath's another article on Hema Malini



Hema Malini is the one about whom I'll continue writing today. Hema has excelled as an actress and as a dancer. Now she is showing how good a politician she is. Hema has it in her to play the role of the BJP national vice-president to perfection. Hema can indeed deal with politicians. She has the power to deal with everything in a proper manner. Just recently she was clad in a green saree and was addressing delegates at the concluding session of the BJP state conclave in Jalgaon. She had been campaigning for the party during elections for past few years. At Jalgaon, she was addressing for the first time as the party vice-president. It was clear from her behaviour that she was aware of her responsibilities and she was also confident of doing well. But, once a 'Dream Girl', always a dream girl. Many BJP delegates at the conclave could not take their eyes off her. One was seen fighting with press photographers because they came in the way of him watching her from close range. A local worker ran to the stage when it was his turn to be felicitated by Hema. The audience burst out laughing. He ran because he was afraid that if he kept Hema waiting she might decide not to felicitate him herself, and pass it on to someone else. A party official from Dhule presented Hema with a poem he had penned for her. Hema was pleasantly surprised to see that the poem was in Hindi. She read it, smiled, folded the sheet, and kept it in her purse. The following was the content of the poem: Aap ke ane se khil gaye hai dil hamare/ Na poochiye ki dil sab ke kyun uchhal rahe hai/ Aap ke barey mein kya kahoon…/ Samudra ki shai aur aakash ka kagaz bhi adhura hai/ Meri maa aap jaisi hoti to na jane hum bhi kitney khoobsurat hotey.
Hema Malini, the timeless beauty, is very happy with the fact that the ‘Dream Girl’ title is still with her. The actress who has received love and appreciation from her fans for more than three decades wonders why no other actress has received that title after her. The title was given to her by her fans when she entered the industry in the late 60s. After that she became one of the reigning divas of Bollywood. When asked which actress is most deserving for this title, she mentioned names like Katrina, Kareena and Aishwarya.
This 62 year old beautiful actress has maintained herself and is as charming as ever. She feels proud that the 'Dream Girl' title is and will be hers forever. The title was given to her. She did not ask for it. So now she is living with it. And it will be with her for as long as she exists
Hema and Dharmendra, who have scorched the screen in popular films like Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, Dream Girl and The Burning Train are coming together for a film after 21 years. Both will be doing a guest appearance in daughter Esha Deol's forthcoming film Tell Me Oh Khuda. The role was earlier offered to Amitabh Bachchan who refused it and later, producer Hema decided to cast husband Dharmendra and herself for it. Hema and Dharmendra were one of the reel-life couples that later turned into a real-life couple. The duo was seen together in several films in the past, which were super hits. However, such roles eluded them after a point of time and both were content starring in different projects. Now after two decades, this sensational pair will be seen together on screen. They will be playing guest roles for the film. The film has Esha playing the lead role. Hema will decide whether to do a full-fledged film with Dharmendra after gauging the audiences' reaction.
Recently, Hema proudly took her daughter's arm and walked the ramp as showstopper for a fashion show. Hema is in the mood to promote her daughter and is going out of her way to do that. And this stance is a new one for mama Hema as she was vehemently opposed to doing any such thing, a few years ago. Esha's career has not soared like that of her famed parents. But now she has shed all her excess weight and has toned her body under Bollywood's most famous trainer to get the tag of one of the best figures in the business. After inconspicuous films and even more inconspicuous roles, Esha is now doing a film under her mother's supervision. Esha is hugely talented, but she has not got the best of films to project what she can do on screen. So her mother Hema feels it is her duty to ensure that she gets that opportunity and that is why she is producing a film for her. However, Hema's stance, a few years ago was a wee bit different. A couple of years ago, mother and daughter had posed together for a magazine cover and Hema had then said that Esha didn't deserve to be on the cover since she had done nothing to be recognized. Hema had then said that one should only be featured if there is a volume of work behind you to be in such a position. She further added that Esha has to work much harder for her to be on the cover. What warms the cockles of almost all hearts is to see the mother today battling for her daughter to ensure her place under the sun, just like she and her husband enjoyed for so many years and still continue to do so.
Now, if there is ever a phenomenally successful actress in Bollywood, then it has got to be Hema Malini. She had been the reigning queen of Bollywood through out the eighties, and had been distinctively termed as the 'Dream Girl' by her ever loving fans. There are certain things in life which are destined to happen, and perhaps, the title was made only for this astounding beauty of Bollywood. Hema has been a source of inspiration for thousands of girls in India, for her multi-faceted personality, her grit, determination and her stance to brave all adversities in life with a smiling face.
Thus, it is not only beauty that makes a 'Dream Girl', other factors are also to be taken into account and Hema has everything that makes her deserve this title.
