EXCLUSIVE | Hema Malini Wants To Make A Comeback To Movies, BUT…
The original Dream Girl of Bollywood, Hema Malini has been absent from the big screen for quite some years now. She was last seen in the 2020 film Shimla Mirchi, but has not graced the silver screen for her fans, since then. With her better-half Dharmendra lighting the screen on fire in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani , fans would love to know when would the legendary actress, herself be making a return to cinema? Turns out, Hema Malini does indeed want to come back to doing more films!
Hema Malini wants to comeback to movies
“I do not want to do a Negative role,” Hema Malini stressed
Hema Malini was recently in Delhi, attending the book launch of her brother RK Chakravarti’s biography Galloping Delhi . In an exclusive interaction with Zoom, the legendary actress confessed that she does indeed want to make a comeback to movies, but added that the role had to suit her.
“Somebody should come and sign me up with a good role. It should be appropriate for my age. It can be glamorous but befitting my age,” the actress confided.
What about roles with negative shades?
When we asked if she would be open to doing a role with negative shades (akin to Jaya Bachchan ’s Dhanlakshmi in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani perhaps), the veteran star replied with a firm, “Negative, no.”
“I do not want to do a Negative role,” the actress stressed, adding, “I am not a negative person at all. I cannot think of myself like that. I do not think bad for anybody so how can I do a negative role. I mean, role toh kar sakte hai kuch bhi, but wesa role nahin karna (I can do such roles, but I do not like doing them). The role has to be positive and should have a positive message.”
A film with Dharmendra perhaps
What about a film with Dharmendra, we asked…
“I do not know if you will see me and Dharam ji in a movie together, but maybe, who knows,” she revealed.
Journey in life and cinema
As for her journey in life and cinema, Hema Malini concluded , “My journey has been very nice. I am happy with whatever I have done. When I look back I think that my journey was good. Aage kesa hoga I do not know. Yahaan tak jab bhagwaan ne acca kiya hai, Radharaman aage bhi le jaayenge theek se. We are in the last qarters of our life, and I am sure Radharaman ji will do everything good.”
