Hema Malini

Famous for the role of twins in the film "Zita and Gita", Indian actress Hema Malini starred in hundreds of films, acted as a producer and director of several projects. She has been nominated eleven times for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress and has received this award once. Awarded with state awards, she is a member of the Indian Parliament.

The actress's career was intended for the girl from birth. Hema Malini Ramanujam Chakravarti was born on October 16, 1948 into a wealthy Tamil family, her mother was a film producer. True, not in Bollywood, but in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, where Hema was born and raised.

Music, dancing and singing lessons formed the proportional figure of the girl, taught her to masterfully control her voice and move gracefully, and her beauty came from her ancestors.

The biography of the film actress began in 1965 with the role of a dancer in the film "Pandu Leaves This World". In this and subsequent films, Hema's dance numbers were distinguished by complexity and beauty. The actress has been improving all her life in the styles of bharatanatyam, kuchipudi and odissi, taking lessons from famous gurus. After several cameo roles at a local film studio, the girl went to Bollywood.

The mother helps to get into the first echelon of actors of the Indian "Dream Factory", but you have to achieve fame on your own. The first partner of the young actress was the renowned Raj Kapoor in Mahesh Kaul's Dream Seller. Further invitations from directors came in flood. They shoot Hema as a positive heroine: gentle, kind and patient. And, of course, singing and dancing.

In 1969, the actress signed a contract to shoot four films with Dharmendra at once. In the comedy "Zita and Gita" Hema played twin girls, identical in appearance, but different in upbringing and character. These characters allowed the actress to reveal new facets of talent: the audience could easily distinguish the sisters by their facial expressions and movements of Malini, who not only adorned the picture, but skillfully led her roles.

The duet of Hema Malini and Dharmendra appeared in dozens of projects, of which, in addition to the already mentioned story of separated sisters, ten more romantic adventure films reached the Soviet audience. The films "Handsome and Stubborn", "Beloved Raja", "King of the Jungle" and others were dubbed into Russian, which gathered full cinemas of spectators wishing to see an oriental fairy tale. And the title of the film "Dream Girl" stuck to the actress as an unofficial pseudonym.

By the nineties, the actress grew out of the role of a young positive heroine, but found a way out by launching serials into production. Malini immediately acted as a producer, director and actress in the television series "Dancer" and "Tell me, God." The idea of ​​filming serials in which the script dispenses with the traditional images of heroes and villains, bringing the plot closer to life, was liked by the Indians, and Malini had followers.

The story of Hema Malini's personal life is a ready-made plot for Indian cinema. A young and beautiful girl from a wealthy and noble family should marry a worthy person. Parents introduce their daughter to potential suitors, but not a single candidate kindles the fire of love in the heart of an impregnable beauty. The actress liked her colleague Sanjeev Kumar, and she accepted the sincere proposal of the young man in love.

The family approved the choice of the girl, but offered to postpone the wedding until the end of Hema's acting career. The fact is that in traditional Bollywood films there are few roles for young women: the heroines of romantic films are young girls, mothers and aunts are elderly ladies. Therefore, leaving the age of the heroine, the actress can devote time to the birth and raising of children.

The bride and groom returned to the set to work together on the comedy melodrama "Zita and Gita". Malini played both twin sisters, Sanjeev played Dr. Ravi, Gita's lover. A mature man, Dharam Singh Deol (known by his pseudonym Dharmendra), starred as the rude Raki courting Zita. Dharmendra is 13 years older than Hema, he has a wife and four children, but this did not stop him from falling in love.

Four films are shot simultaneously with the participation of both artists. Real emotions are mixed with depicted ones, roles change, but feelings remain. Hema Malini breaks off the engagement and agrees to become Dharmendra's second wife. But the laws and customs of India do not permit divorce or polygamy in this case. For eight years, the girl resisted the pressure of the family, and the new chosen one was looking for a way to connect with her beloved.

The romance of the movie stars was covered in detail in the pages of Indian newspapers. The fans of the acting duet were on the side of the lovers: after all, everything happened "like in a movie." The couple managed to get married in 1980, after the death of Hema's father, who was the most opposed to unequal marriage. As it should be in fairy tales, a happy family life became the reward for endurance in trials.

The couple raised their daughters Esha and Ahana, who, following in their mother's footsteps, studied the art of the Bharatanatyam dance from childhood. The girls continued the acting dynasty, like their paternal brothers - Sunny and Bobby Deola, and the production company Hema Malini creations provides the younger generation with work. In 2014, the youngest of Dharmendra's daughters, Ahana, got married. Photos of the family and videos of Hema's dancing with her daughters demonstrate a combination of tradition and modernity.

The venerable age and the presence of a grandson does not mean that a woman will devote herself entirely to household chores. Although Hema Malini's house is now huge - after the commercial success of Zita and Gita, the rich movie star bought a small house near the airport in Mumbai, to which she later added a five-story extension.

In the house there was a place for a small temple - Hema professes Vaishnavism, following the path of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

A large place is occupied by a dance hall - Hema teaches traditional dances. The library, selected according to the interests of the owners, contains books on philosophy and politics. Malini is engaged in politics professionally: together with her husband he sits in the Upper House of the Parliament of India from the Indian People's Party. The woman publishes news about her work on Instagram and Twitter, but does not advertise her personal life details.
