Hema Malini : The Authorized Biography
by Bhawana Somaaya
22 cm., pp. 260 with 16 colour insert, Rs. 495 or US$ 11.65 (postage extra)
Hema
Malini, the quintessential 'Dream Girl' of Hindi cinema has truly
nurtured a dream, and followed it to its realization. After being
unceremoniously dropped from her first Tamil film as the director felt
that she didn't have 'star quality', Hema signed the Hindi film she was
offered opposite Raj Kapoor. Just eighteen, she soon conquered the
hearts of all moviegoers with her beauty, grace and charisma. From
Johnny Mera Naam to Sholay, from Meera to Baghbaan, she has portrayed a
diverse range of characters that will always remain a part of the film
legend.
Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Sanjeev Kumar … she worked with
all the leading stars, but it was with Dharmendra that the chemistry on
screen was palpable. The special bond she shared with Dharmendra set
the rumour mills buzzing but defying all conventions, Hema married her
Jat hero in May 1980. Striking a perfect balance between her personal
and professional life, Hema maintains a dignity about the little world
she shares with daughters Esha and Ahana.
This intimate
portrayal, the first authorized biography, by Bhawana Somaaya is a
result of her long years of association with Hema as a film journalist
and critic. Hema speaks to her more candidly than ever before about her
life, with and without Dharmendra, her children, her mother and her
twin passions of dance and acting.
