EXCLUSIVE: When Hema Malini said 'NO' to Raj Kapoor for 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram'

Hema Malini, now, when looks back to reflect upon her long and flourishing career, feels bad about not getting an opportunity and privilege of working with the great showman of the Indian Cinema – Raj Kapoor, as a director. As we all know, Hema made her debut in Bollywood with ‘Sapno Ka Saudagar’, in 1968, in which she was paired with Raj Kapoor.

Interestingly, Zeenat Aman was not the first choice for 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' as Raj Kapoor was very keen that Hema played Roopa’s part but it eventually went to Zeenat Aman. Reminisces Hema, “Raj Saab would bring up the topic time and again and we had several discussions but then he himself said, ‘You won’t be able to do what I want’. But he really wished from his heart that I do it but then I had to refuse the film.” Obviously, he knew that Hema would be uncomfortable with the idea of seducing the camera with her body. “Of course, he knew my image. Yet he offered me the role, he came and spoke to me hoping that I will say, ‘Yes’. Shashi and I would have made a great pair but sadly I couldn't do...”

The veteran actress further adds, “Those days there was this talk of him making 'Mera Naam Joker' Part 2 and he’d wanted me in that film, but the film never happened. I was also very keen to work with Raj Saab since he was a very passionate filmmaker, he wouldn’t bother about time or money spent on a project, it was just his passion.”

It’s a known fact that 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' was a splendid showcase of Zeenat’s powers of seduction, her voice, her figure, and her limited acting potential, too. Says Hema, who's quite close to Zeenat, “Zeenat played the part so well. Bold, yes, and then it was done in the 70's...but she was beautiful. Till date nobody has done that kind of a role what Zeenat did. She had such a beautiful body.”

"My only wish for Esha is, you have to have a baby soon. As a mother, that's my wish," Hemaji told PTI. The Dream Girl actress said Esha's birthday celebration would be a low-key affair.

I enjoy every bit of my life: Hema Malini

Hema Malini

Actress talks about her dance festival Jaya-Smriti, the joys of being a grandmother and her plans for Mathura

Dream Girl Hema Malini may have turned 67, but she still enthrals millions of her fans. The South Indian diva, who balances her roles as a granny, danseuse and politician, wants to promote talented dancers through Jaya-Smriti, a programme in memory of her mother. She speaks to Lipika Varma about her dream to provide a platform to budding talent.

Q) What’s your beauty mantra?
I am always happy. I have enjoyed all my roles as a mother, daughter, sister, wife and all were fulfilling. I don’t have a normal family life as I have always been busy, but I enjoy every bit of my life. Dance has supported me a lot.

Q) You are a granny now, how do you feel?
I didn’t know a new relationship could bring you so much happiness. I play with Darian every day and all my memories of my little girls come back to me. I was a working mother and one of my favourite memories is how they would come and hug me when I returned home.

Q) Why are you reviving Jaya-Smriti after two years?
My mother was a great art lover and she made me what I am today. Without dance, I would have never been Hema Malini. She wanted me to be a dancer. I was offered roles after people saw my performance.

Q) Will you be performing for Jaya-Smriti? Who all will be participating this year?
None of us will perform this year. Many beautiful dancers from Odisha, including Kelucharan Mohapatra’s granddaughter, will perform this year. A dancer from the Abruti organisation, which adopts children and trains them to dance, will also be performing for Jaya-Smriti.

Q) Who are your favourite dancers in Bollywood?
Deepika dances very well. Aishwarya performs Kathak exuberantly.

Q) Will your daughters take over the dancing reign of yours?
I have taught my daughters everything. They are dedicated. I am trying to preserve the culture and I want them to take over. I hope they do it. It has to be a natural process.

Q) What’s up on your production front?
You can’t make films now. I did a film Tell me Oh Khuda, but the director was not good. Dev saab, Guru Dutt and Ramesh Sippy all produced and directed movies, but now corporates have taken over and we have to depend on them.

Q) As a South Indian, how were your initial days in Bollywood?
The first 10 years of my life were in Delhi and we moved to Chennai as I wanted to be an actor and a dancer. When I became an actor, I shifted to Mumbai. In those days, I used to wear heavy Kancheevaram saris that my mom brought for me. Many women up North made fun of me, especially producers’ wives, who said, ‘Yeh Madrasi kya karegi?’

Q) Tell us about Dharmendra.
I am blessed to have him in my life. If I was married to someone else, I would be doing nothing. I have always been inspired by him.

Q) What are you doing for Mathura?
I am working hard for Mathura. People there are innocent. There’s no development as they have been looted for ages and no one has done anything for their well-being. I talked to the party higher-ups, and UP CM Akhilesh Yadav and I are trying to do something for their well-being.

Hema Malini comes out in favor of Shah Rukh Khan

MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Hema Malini extended her support for superstar Shah Rukh Khan after a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader accused King Khan of being a “Pakistani agent”.

BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had hit out at Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan over his “extreme intolerance” comment, saying his “soul” is in Pakistan though he lives in India.

He later retracted his statements on the Bollywood superstar.

Hema Malini speaking at an event here said that the actor was targeted by the party for no reason.

“Shah Rukh has not said that he is going to return the award or anything. I feel that he has been targeted. I personally feel that it is not right”, Malini said.

“He is an actor from our country; he has brought good name to the country; he has been liked by millions of people all over the world. We are proud of him,” she added.

It is necessary to preserve our classical dance forms: Hema Malini

Hema Malini said: "I have done my bit in Bollywood. I will do films only if a good role like Baghban comes my way.

When asked about her evergreen pairing with Dharmendra, Hema Malini said, “We came together, acted together, delivered hits and are together. It is all destiny and nothing is planned.”

One of the finest exponents of Indian classical dance, Hema Malini is all set to reprise ‘Jaya Smriti’, an annual dance event held in memory of her late mother, Jaya Chakravarthy. At this event, young talent and veterans from the field of dance are recognised for their achievements. In an exclusive conversation with The Indian Express.com, Hema Malini talks about dance, Dharmendra and Bollywood.

Ques:How did dance happen in your life?

Hema Malini: Dance happened because of my mother Jaya Chakravarthy. She had decided that I would be a dancer even before I was born. There was no sonography and stuff in those days. Still she knew she would give birth to a girl and she had decided that the girl would be named Hema Malini and she would become a dancer.That is the vision she had. So once I was born, right from a very young age she put me into dance and instilled the interest in me. She then started accepting shows left, right and center. I was in Delhi then and as a small girl I started performing. That is how I got interested.

Ques:Were you ever nervous in your early days while performing on stage?

Hema Malini: I used to be totally nervous and used to make so many mistakes. After every mistake, I would look at my mother who would shout at me. She was strict but she trained me well in dance and taught me how to be smart enough to correct a mistake on stage when it happens.

Ques:What new will we get to see in ‘Jaya Smriti’ this time?

Hema Malini: It’s a new set of artistes who will be performing. Young girls who will be performing classical dance whether it is Bharat Natyam, Odissi, Kuchipudi or Kathak. It will only be classical dance.

Ques: Don’t you think there are less takers for classical dance today?

Hema Malini: Yes. Today there are only 1/4th who are interested in pursuing classical dance forms. The rest are into Bollywood. The ratio is not even. It is very difficult to sustain the interest in classical dance. That is why it is necessary to preserve these classical dance forms which are ours. I am doing my bit and there are other artists like me too who are inviting youngsters to perform.

Ques: Will you get into teaching dance as well?

Hema Malini: I am not a good teacher as I tend to be very strict. At my academy, I have hired a group of expert teachers and everybody will be taught exactly what I want. I also plan to get teachers from south.

Ques: We don’t see you much in Bollywood these days. Why?

Hema Malini: I have done my bit in Bollywood. I will do films only if a good role like Baghban comes my way. There is nothing wrong in doing one good film. I am also blessed in the sense that I can act when I want, dance, spend time with the people of my constituency and also with my family. What else can I ask for.

Ques: Do you like being called a dream girl?

Hema Malini: Why should I not like it? I was introduced as a Dream Girl. So, I will always remain one. I am okay with that.

Ques: Hema-Dharmendra has been the most evergreen pairing both and on and off screen. What’s the magic behind it?

Hema Malini: (Smiles) We came together, acted together, delivered hits and are together. It is all destiny and nothing is planned.

Ques: Dharmendra never won many awards for his performances. Do you think industry was biased towards him when it came to awards?

Hema Malini: Yes, he was not given awards. But public loves him and that is his biggest award. Even if you see me, I never received many awards except for a couple. Today they make a category to give an award. So you have something like a heroine in a negative role and many such awards. This is done so that people come in large numbers to attend the function. Had that been the case during my time, I would have got innumerable awards. For a movie like Lal Patthar, I didn’t get any award because it was a negative role.

Ques:How is your relationship with Rekha today?

Hema Malini: We are very friendly. It’s a different kind of a friendship between us. Not that everyday she comes and sees me. Once in a while we talk and she is always there for me. She is a very sweet girl.

Ques: Will we ever get to see both of you together in a film again?

Hema Malini: We did Sadiyaan together. Ab film karke kya karenge? We are over the age.
