Has Hema Malini decided to only work with big banners?
Has Hema Malini decided to only work with big banners? Is that why she has only a few films in hand? "It's not that I am flooded with offers every day. I am offered the regular 'mummy' type of roles in Bollywood, and now people have started offering me grandmoms' roles too. I wouldn't mind playing a grandmom, if my role is well-etched out. I keep myself engaged with other creative work, and I don't need to do rubbish films," she says. And yet this 'grandmother' has a long list of admirers, the latest being John Abraham, who claimed to be in love with her recently.
So, what has Hema got to say about Abraham's infatuation with her? "Really? But I thought that John is in love with Bipasha," laughs Hema. "I think most of the actors of today's generation are so articulate. It's sweet of John to say such beautiful words. I too want to say good things about people, but I don't know how to put my thoughts across. I always run out of compliments. Of course, I would love to work with John once again," she says. As for her other co-star Rani Mukherji, Hema says, "I think she has come up the hard way. Bechari kitna mehenat karti hai. Surviving in today's age is certainly much more difficult than it was earlier," she says.
