Hema could not continue her 10th standard studies because she was continuously getting acting offers. And though Hema was very intelligent in studies, History was her favourite subject, but before acting, studies took a backseat.Hema Malini got her first opportunity in films with Sapno Ka Saudagar in 1968. The hero of the film was showman Raj Kapoor, who was much, much older than Hema in terms of age. Raj Kapoor had then said, “One day this girl will become a very big star of cinema.”
Hema proved Raj Kapoor’s prediction true.In 1970, with Johny Mera Naam, Hema started being taken seriously. This film became a super-duper hit at the box office. At the beginning of her career, Hema made some films with Dharmendra like Tum Haseen Main Jawaan, Sharafat, Naya Zamana. These films may not have done very well at the box office, but the pair was liked a lot. Later, this pair gave many successful films and became one of the most successful pairs in Bollywood.
In Seeta Aur Geeta, Hema Malini played a double role. The tremendous success of this film made Hema a top heroine. Seeing her beauty, people started calling her Dream Girl.This name impressed Hema Malini’s mother so much that she made a film with the same name – Dream Girl. Many film actors like Jeetendra wanted to marry Hema Malini, but later Dharmendra won her over.Hema Malini is a trained classical dancer in Bharatnatyam and Odissi besides being an actress, and has done many stage shows in India and abroadRaj Kapoor had first offered the role of Satyam Shivam Sundaram to Hema Malini. Because there was excessive skin show required in the film, Hema refused to do this film.To maintain her beauty, Hema Malini does yoga and exercise daily and fasting twice a week is a part of her regular life. Hema Malini’s favourites are Kanjivaram sarees, jasmine gajras and lots of jewellery. Seeing her look as a grandmother in the film Baghban, Amitabh Bachchan had said, “Even today you look younger than your daughters.
“Since we are talking about youth, let’s talk about former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had watched the film Seeta Aur Geeta many times. He liked the double role very much and Hema Malini was one of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s favourite heroines.For doing good work in films, in 1999 the Government of India honoured Hema Malini with the Padma Shri award.Now this question is for those people who have watched the video till the end.
You have to tell whether Hema Malini ji has given as much to the country as an MP in politics as she gave to India as a heroine.For those who don’t know, let us tell you that Hema Malini was elected to the Rajya Sabha as a representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP] from 2003 to 2009. In 2014, she was elected to the Lok Sabha.Last year in an interview she recalled her first meeting with the former Prime Minister. She said, “I remember when I told the office bearers that I have mentioned Atal Bihari Vajpayee in my speeches, but I have never met him. I was introduced to him. During the meeti
ng I felt that Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a little hesitant while talking.”When Hema Malini asked a woman present there about Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s behaviour, she came to know that he was her fan. The actress-turned-MP Hema Malini revealed, “That woman said, ‘Actually, Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a very big fan of yours. In 1972 he had watched your film ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ 25 times. That’s why after suddenly meeting you, he is hesitating to talk to you.'”
