Hema Malini

Background

Hema Malini was born in Jeeyapuram, Tiruchirappalli district, Madras Presidency, India, on October 16, 1948. Her zodiac sign is Libra. She was born into the Tamil-speaking Chakravarthy family. Her father’s name is V.S.R. Chakravarthy, and her mother’s name is Jaya. Her mother was a well-known and respected film producer in South India. Malini is the younger sister of R.K. Chakravarthy and R.J. Chakravarthy, both of whom are film producers.

She was enrolled in school at Andhra Mahila Sabha in Chennai, where her favorite topic was history. She attended D.T.E.A. Mandir Marg until the 11th grade, following which she began her acting career. Her mother, who is a film producer, wanted her to be an actor. Malini, on the other hand, failed to find popularity as an actress in South Indian cinema. She did, however, continue to work as a dancer. Her first Tamil film, “Idhu Sathiyam,” was released in 1963, and she performed the role of a supporting actress. In 1968, she was cast as the lead actress in the Hindi film “Sapno Ka Saudagar.”

After being impressed by her attractiveness, Sanjeev Kumar, a Bollywood actor, proposed to Malini for marriage, but she declined. She became emotionally drawn to Dharmendra after working with him on set. In 1980, the couple married. Dharmendra’s first wife refused to divorce him, so the couple converted to Islam, and were married in a private ceremony in Khandala. Over the course of her two-decade career, she worked with every big actor of the time. Rajesh Khanna and other well-known artists were among her collaborators. Malini has established herself as one of the greatest Bollywood actresses of all time.
