Born on October 16, 1948, the legendary Hema Malini is not just an Indian actress, filmmaker, and politician, but also Bollywood’s beloved “Dream Girl.” As we celebrate her birthday, let’s take a trip down memory lane to revisit the enchanting love story between her and Dharmendra, a tale that triumphed over all obstacles. One heartwarming moment that stands out is when Hema Malini, in a state of exhaustion from a night shoot, fell asleep mid-conversation with Dharmendra, leaving him charmed by the sound of her gentle snores.
During a delightful appearance on Kapil Sharma’s show alongside her timeless beauty, Esha shared a fun anecdote about how both she and her mother share the trait of keeping phone conversations short. Esha humorously remarked, “I can’t talk for more than two minutes. Mumma and I are exactly the same in this regard. I’m the kind who talks quickly and hangs up. In fact, there’s a story about mom where she was talking to dad on call, and they were talking and talking… and suddenly, he heard mom snoring on the phone.”
In 1980, Hema Malini and Dharmendra, her co-star and real-life love, exchanged vows, marking a new chapter in her illustrious journey both on and off the silver screen. Throughout the years, she has captivated audiences with her grace and charm, solidifying her status as one of Bollywood’s most iconic and revered stars.
