Role Call

It is no surprise that Hema Malini is still referred to as the Dream Girl of Bollywood. Even after four decades in the industry she looks as gorgeous as she did in the ’70s. She has just been appointed a Vice President of the BJP and has her plate full. “I haven’t been assigned duties yet. They will give me whatever suits me best,” she confirms. Elegantly dressed in a blue Chanderi sari she purchased from her recent visit to Indore, she welcomes us to the seating area of her Goregaon bungalow which was gifted to her by Dharmendra almost 20 years ago. “This is my holiday home,” she smiles. “I come here to relax. Today I am here to speak about my film Sadiyaan.”
