This personality needs no introduction. As the famous phrase
goes, "actions speak louder than words" and yes, in her case, she has
gained all the name and fame ever since her debut in 1968 through her
flawless acting skills. She is none other than the amazing
Hema Malini.
A
celebrity who is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential
actresses of Indian cinema, during her early start of success Malini was
named as the "Dream Girl", owing to her beauty and skills in dancing
and acting. However, in today's era, she is also fondly known as the
"Dream Mom" of Bollywood.
Malini has acted in many blockbuster movies in various roles but
her role as a caring, loving and emotional mother off late that has the
world singing her praise. Perhaps it is due to her special quality
where which she is able to completely dissolves herself in the character
she is portraying.
After a successive career in the 1970's, Malini took a break
from acting to dedicate time to her personal and family life. Early 2003
saw her returning back with a bang in the movie
Baghban - which
also co-starred
Amitabh Bachchan - which was a heartbreaking tale of
coping with distance in a relationship. Malilni's performance in the
film was highly commended where she played a fun loving mother to five
children who then leave her and her husband stranded during an age where
they needed their children's support the most.
Malini's chemistry with Bollywood's Angry Young Man goes
a long way down memory lane and till date their magic still works
wonders over the audience. It is probably the reason why
Baghban became
a super hit blockbuster at the Box Office and earned Malini the award
of the Best Sensational Actress (2003) as well as the Best Star Screen
Jodi No.1 Award, which she shared with
Amitabh Bachchan. She was also
nominated for the Filmfare Best Actress Award.
This
was surely a new beginning for Malini, after-which she went on to work
in various other movies with the mega -star including
Veer Zaara (2004),
Baabul (2006), and
Buddha Hoga Tera Baap (2011).
In all the aforementioned movies, her roles may have total to very
little screen time, yet they have been stated as significant and
more importantly, admired. She did justice to every dialogue and
portrayed a real bond in a reel scenario.
Malini latest work consists of feature film directorial titled
Tell Me O Khuda (2011),
starring her eldest daughter
Esha Deol in the main lead as well as her
husband
Dharmendra Singh Deol. Although the movie did not do well at the Box
Office, she was praised for her effort.
Being an accomplished classical dancer, Malini has a few hit
numbers tucked under her belt. A sample from her playlist in the
motherly avatar include: the romantic one "Meri Makhna" from
Baghban, "Gaa Re Mann" from
Baabul, "Haal-E-Dil" from
Buddha Hoga Tera Baap and last but not the least, a full on
dhamaal song "Tere Kurbaan Jawan" from
Veer-Zaara.
Indeed Hema Malini is a legendary actress of Hindi cinema and
BollyCurry are proud to have her part of our film industry. We're are
sure there is a lot more coming from the Dream Girl before she fully
packs up thus watch this space for an addition to her lifetime
achievements.
