 Hema Malini mini-bio: A trained Bharat Natyam dancer, Hema Malini began her film career opposite
Raj Kapoor in Sapnon Ka Saudagar (1968) where she became labeled the "Dream
Girl". She had a glorious reign as a leading actress during the 70's, even
winning the Filmfare Best Actress award for Seeta Aur Geeta (1972), but in
the early 80's, she decided to concentrate on 'character' roles, often those
with feminist undertones.
Both actors Jeetendra and Sanjeev Kumar proposed marriage to Hema, but it
was Dharmendra, with whom she formed a hugely successful on-screen couple,
that won her hand in the end. She defied the conventional norm at the time
by becoming his second wife and continuing to work after having children.
Mother of Ahana and Esha Deol, step-mother of Bobby and Sunny Deol, Hema
Malini was awarded the 'Padma Bhushan' in 1999 for her contribution to
Indian Cinema.
