Hema Malini: @ IMPHAL |
She was Bollywood's original "Dream Girl." It was in the late sixties that she made her debut in Hindi films. She is one of the finest actresses of all times who had received Film fare Lifetime Achievement Award and much-coveted award "Padmashree" recently. After creating a nice niche for herself as an actress, she found a new love in classical dancing and acting in small screen. Her first major role in small screen came in 'Yug' on Doordarshan's national network and had anchored 'Rangoli' in the same channel. Being already a name to reckon with in Bharat Natyam and Odissi, she decided once again go back to her dancing. She did a series on Doordarshan and staged performances for audience in India and abroad. Her brief role of Kamal Hassan's mother-in-law in the bit controversial 'Hey Ram' has been widely appreciated. She is none other than Hema Malini: who is also a life member of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
