Star biography: Hema Malini

Indian actress Hema Malini became for the people of the former USSR a symbol of the era of the 1970s-1980s. It happened after the whole country saw Zita and Gita, where Hema played two girls, separated from childhood. Fun, bright dances and songs - that's what her biography consists of. Hema Malini is now a well-known producer and director, who opens new talents for Indian cinema.

Hema Malini made her film debut in 1968, playing a small role in the movie "The Seller of Dreams." Even then, she starred with eminent actors, including Raj Kapoor. During her long career as an actress, she managed to work with Shashi Kapur, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna and many other talented actors. Almost all of her films Hema Malini played a loving and kind girl, a devoted mother and wife.

The films with Hema Malini became a real classic of commercial cinema. The very same actress long enough suffered criticism in her address, many called her an actress only one image. However, everything was not so bad, the girl with the help of the directors she worked with fully revealed herself in her roles.

In 1971, the actress managed to impress everyone with her role in the film "Scarlet Stones", where she first played the role of a negative character. In the same year, Hema Malini, whose biography is now known to almost all fans of Indian cinema, appeared in the film "Act", playing the role of a widow, which other actresses preferred to refuse. The actress admits that at that time she wanted to test herself for strength.

However, if it were not for the director Sampuran Singh Gulzar, her biography would not have been so colorful. Hema Malini owes his actor's growth to him. Together they managed to work four times, but their last work, "Devdas", was never finished for certain reasons.

In the late 1980s, Hema Malini practically did not appear on the screen. This is quite easy to explain - in Indian cinema there are very few roles for women over 40 years of age. They are already old and can not play young girls, but they are also young enough to play their mothers. Hema did not despair, but she left for a few years from the set, as her biography shows. Hema Malini returned to the big screen only in 2003, and not one, but with another, no less legendary actor - Amitabh Bachchan. Together they played immediately in two films, and the actress distinguished herself by her characters, which were not similar to the heroines she had played before.

Acting skills for the legend of Indian cinema did not become the only path, this is confirmed by her biography. Hema Malini is currently engaged in directing and producing films. The most famous projects of the new-born producer are the television series "The Dancer" and the feature-length film "Heart-Friend".

However, in the profession of director Hema Malini also disappointed, which is why now she is mostly removed in the series. The last one is "Amrapali". The actress admits that in this multi-part feature film she finally managed to play the role of her dream.
