Apart from this, Hema Malini said, ‘Everyone is shocked by Dharmendra ji’s departure. It was very terrible, because we were struggling for a month when he was not well. Whatever was happening in the hospital, we were trying to deal with it. We all were there, I, Isha, Sunny, Bobby were all together. This had happened many times in the past when Dharmendra ji went to the hospital and came back after recovering. We had thought that he would come this time also.

Dharmendra used to spend time with Hema like this

Hema also talked about Dharmendra’s farmhouse. Hema called it Mini Punjab. He said, ‘His farm in Lonavala is very beautiful. It feels like mini Punjab. He had cows there. We used to get ghee from the farm, just 2 months ago they had brought 3 bottles of ghee for us. He had said that this is for Isha, this is for Ahana and this is for you. He was very loving. Whenever I was not around, he used to spend time in Lonavala. When I used to go to Mathura or Delhi for work, we used to adjust our schedules. When I used to come back, he used to come and spend time with me in Mumbai.

Local people say that this kind of cooperation gives a positive message to the society. Setting an example of human relations between public representatives and the public, Hema Malini has proved that helping the needy should not be limited to policies and speeches only.

Hema Malini: From cinema to Parliament
Hema Malini is one of the veteran actresses of Indian cinema. Hema Malini, known as ‘Dream Girl’, started her film career in the year 1968 with the film ‘Sapno Ka Saudagar’. After this, she ruled the hearts of the audience by acting in more than 150 films including ‘Sholay’, ‘Sita Aur Geeta’, ‘Dream Girl’, ‘Satte Pe Satta’ and ‘Bagban’.

The Government of India awarded him the prestigious Padma Shri award in the year 2000 for his remarkable contribution in the field of art and culture.

Along with acting, Hema Malini also played an active role in politics. She is a senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party and is currently an MP from Mathura Lok Sabha seat of Uttar Pradesh. While being an MP, she has been continuously active in works like social service, women empowerment and helping the needy.

Report-Tushar Purohit Sirohi

The film ‘Sholay’, released in 1975, shows the true friendship of Jai and Veeru. The film proved to be a superhit on screen and is being released with 4K version on 12th December. Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s onscreen and offscreen love also started on the sets of this film. Dharmendra played the role of Veeru only for Hema Malini. But do you know that even during the shooting, Dharmendra left no stone unturned to impress Hema Malini.

Dharmendra climbed on the tank to impress Hema Malini
The iconic tank scene of the film ‘Sholay’ is still alive in everyone’s heart. Veeru had expressed his love to Basanti by climbing on the tank, but before the shooting, Dharmendra had tried to impress Hema Malini through the same tank, but at that time it did not make much difference to Hema Malini. This was revealed by Sachin Pilgaonkar, who played the character of Ahmed in Sholay.

Refreshing old memories related to the film Sholay, Sachin Pilgaonkar had told in an old interview that during the shooting of the film Sholay, Dharmendra’s only attempt was to impress Hema Malini somehow. Narrating the incident, he said that a big and tall tank was made on the set for shooting and that tank was not real, it was made by the art director and it was not strong either.

This was Hema’s reaction
Sachin Pilgaonkar told that just to impress Hema, he climbed on the tank and stood crossing the railing. Seeing this, Ramesh Sippy got scared and started shouting “Dharamji-Dharamji”, but he said, “Oh, nothing will happen.” Hema Malini was watching all this and there were no expressions on her face. When I told Hema that it was very dangerous, she just said without any expression, “Yes, it is dangerous.” Meaning it was not making any difference to them.

It is also said that to spend more time with Hema Malini, he used to retake the scenes again and again on the sets of Sholay. Something similar happened during the mango plucking scene of Basanti in the film and Dharmendra took several retakes on the pretext of making the scene perfect. Even though Dharmendra is not among us today, his fans will always remember him through his films. The actor was born on 8 December.

Hema Malini married Dharmendra in the year 1980 at the peak of her career. At that time Hema Malini was among the top actresses of Bollywood. There was no limit to his happiness because not only was his career going well, on the other hand he was getting love in the form of a companion. Although Dharmendra was already married and had children, still he and Hema Malini had decided to hold each other’s hands and get married. During that time something happened that trouble befell Hema Malini. She saw the worst phase of her life and even had to do B-grade films for her daughters.

Tax of Rs 1 crore was outstanding
When Hema Malini started her career, her parents Jaya Chakraborty and V.S. Ramanujam Chakraborty supported. She was giving hit films one after the other and became one of the highest-grossing actresses of the 70s. However, despite this, Hema Malini came to know in the early 1980s that she owed the government a tax of Rs 1 crore. And they will have to pay all that tax together. In those days, actors did not earn crores, so such a huge amount was too much for Hema Malini.

This has been mentioned in Hema’s biography Hema Malini: Beyond The Dream Girl, written by Ram Kamal Mukherjee. It is written in the book, ‘Dharmendra offered help, but Hema Malini did not take any help.’ Hema told in the book that despite her father’s constant reminders, her mother was very careless about paying taxes. He said, ‘My father kept reminding Amma again and again that we have to pay tax, but my mother was ignorant and felt that it was unfair to collect so much tax from us, because her daughter was earning so much money by working so hard.’

Hema had to do B-grade films
Hema Malini further told in the book that her parents often argued on this issue. Hema Malini came to know about the outstanding tax of Rs 1 crore only after the death of her father. He writes in the book, ‘Unfortunately, it was only after my father’s death that we realized that we were in dire financial straits and had to pay a lot of outstanding taxes.’ At that time Hema needed a lot of money. The only easy way to earn this money was to do more and more films because at that time the actors did not even get that much fees. But in this matter, Hema Malini had to do B-grade films, because no big banner was ready to bet on her at that time.

It was the worst period of my life,
Regarding this, Hema Malini has written in the book, ‘This was the worst phase of my life, which lasted for 10 years. I had to repay my debts and had nothing except these films. I was making my living through dance shows, but most of the money came from films only.

By the time Hema Malini had to work in B-grade films, she had become the mother of two daughters – Isha and Ahana. Isha had once told about when she came to know that mom Hema Malini was doing B-grade films. Esha Deol had said, ‘After Ahana’s birth, I realized that mom had started shooting too much. She rarely stayed at home. Later, when we watched some films like ‘Durga’, ‘Anjaam’, ‘Sitapur Ki Geeta’ and ‘Jamai Raja’, I asked her why she was doing these films. That’s when he told me about the loan.

Bollywood actress and Mathura MP Hema Malini was already mourning the death of Pankaj Dheer, but now she has lost her close friend again. The actress has expressed grief over the demise of filmmaker Sanjay Khan’s wife Zarine. Hema Malini has written an emotional post remembering him on social media.

Actress Hema Malini has worked in more than one films. Basanti’s character in his film Sholay has become an iconic. Now the actress has talked about Basanti’s character and her nature.

Hema was asked if Bansati’s character was the most talking girl in Sholay. So in response to this, Hema said, ‘I think she was the most speaking girl of Indian cinema. How much she speaks I had only one concern that Basanti should not be irritating anywhere. I was afraid that his bank should not bother people. But people liked him. I think people liked that she always spoke. Especially the way she stood in front of Gabbar.

Hema Malini’s behavior was like this on the set

In a conversation with the Times of India, Hema then told about her nature and said, ‘I am completely different from Basanti. I am very reserved. When I was young, I was very silent. I used to speak less on the set. Many of my heroes used to think that I am Arogant. But the truth was that I was very shy. Why to speak without meaning? That is why I chose silence.

How was Hema’s bond on the set with Dharmendra?

When asked if you used to keep quiet while working with Dharamji? In response, he laughed and said- talk with Dharam ji was different. We had a lot to say to each other. Because we used to meet barely outside the shooting.
