Hema Malini: Ready for Onscreen Kisses If the Role Fits
Following the release of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the attention-grabbing lip-kiss between Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi has ignited discussions across town. Adding to the intrigue, Dharmendra’s wife, Hema Malini, has expressed her willingness to partake in similar scenes if the opportunity arises.
Embracing New Challenges
Addressing the prospect of onscreen kissing, Hema Malini conveyed her openness during an interview with India.com. She confidently stated, “Kyun nahi karenge, bilkul karenge. (Why not, Why won’t I) If it is nice, if it is relatable and gels with the film, maybe I can.” This revelation comes shortly after her announcement that she is prepared to make a comeback in the film industry.
A Demand for Suitable Roles
Expressing her aspirations for her return to the silver screen, Hema Malini asserted, “Somebody should come and sign me up with a good role. It should be appropriate for my age. It can be glamorous but befitting my age.” The veteran actress also emphasized her aversion to negative roles, stating, “I do not want to do a negative role. I am not a negative person at all. I cannot think of myself like that. I do not think bad for anybody, so how can I do a negative role. The role has to be positive and should have a positive message.”
Supporting Her Partner
When asked about her thoughts on Dharmendra’s onscreen kiss with Shabana Azmi, Hema Malini expressed her joy for her husband’s achievements. She remarked, “I am sure people have loved the film. I am so happy for Dharam ji, because he loves to be in front of the camera all the time. He loves it.”
Dharmendra’s Nonchalant Perspective
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the premiere, but I’ve received a lot of messages from people. Maine bola, ‘Yaar, yeh toh mere daaye haath ka kaam hai (It’s no big deal for me).'”
“Baaye haath se karwana hai, woh bhi karwa lo (I can do it effortlessly).” – Dharmendra
Dharmendra himself shared his casual take on the attention garnered by the kiss during a Mumbai press conference. His witty comment, “Baaye haath se karwana hai, woh bhi karwa lo (I can do it effortlessly),” was met with laughter, emphasizing his nonchalant attitude towards the matter.
As the buzz around Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani continues, Hema Malini’s willingness to explore new challenges, Dharmendra’s playful response, and their unwavering support for each other underscore their enduring presence in the entertainment industry.
It remains to be seen whether Hema Malini’s desire to take on diverse roles, even including onscreen kisses, will translate into exciting opportunities in future cinematic ventures.
