Hema Malini gets nostalgic about her role in Baghban

Yesteryear actress and Dream girl of Bollywood Hema Malini disagreed with playing the character of Pooja in Bhagban when she listened to the narrative for the first time in the latest Bollywood news

Baghban is a story of Raj and Pooja played by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. It was a big story that revealed the inside picture of an average middle-class family. Where the elderly are taken for granted. And their children who were provided with everything in childhood are least bothered to consider their own parents as their responsibility.

Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini played the main leads in the narrative. And, without a second thought, one can agree that they both were the right choice for Pooja and Raj. Even after 20 years, if we watch it we find them so deep and real. There is a connectivity in the tale that one can repeat watching it many times.

But many are unaware that Hema Malini doubted participating in the project as a mother to grown-up Kids. Pooja in Bhagban is a wife to a Retired husband and also a grandmother to a teenage girl. 

Recently her interaction with the media revealed that she listened to the narrative along with her mother and did not find herself convinced to take the role. But her mother who found Pooja’s character really nice wanted her to accept it.

BhagBan was released in 2003 with Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini playing the characters of a retired couple who are parents to hold boys three of them are married and in a settled stage in their life.

But all of them avoided accepting their retired parents as their responsibility and conspired to push them to separate so that they choose togetherness over separation and escape their kids from this responsibility.

But they accepted their offer and the father moved along with the next to do the eldest son. Whereas the mother moved to the city where their eldest son was living with his family. Hence destiny separated them after a long life of togetherness.

But Raj found his solace in writing. And he ended up writing a whole book on his life. In a cafe near his son’s house, he made some friends. And one young friend was the son of a publisher. He read the story and published the book.

And a middle-class man who worked all his life to support his kids and never saved trusting his own children for retirement ends up becoming a circumstantial author of a successful edition. His own kids who found both parents as a burden wanted to come back to their rich parents now.
Baghban was made on a budget of 10 crores and turned out to be a big head generating a revenue of 43 crores from its theatrical release. we should thank Hema ji’s mother for convincing her to accept the character and contribute to such a strong and meaningful project.

For those unaware, Hema Malini and Amitabh Bachchan gave many hits as main leads when they were ruling the industry. The list includes Satte pe Satta, Naseeb, Trishul and Sholay. Even after the success of Bhagban, they came together as an elderly pair in Veer Zaara. But they looked best together in Bhagban.

On the personal front, the Seeta aur Geeta actress married her costar, Dharmendra. and she and the actor together are proud parents to two daughters Isha Deol and Ahana Deol. Dharmendra was already married to Parkash Kaur and a father of four kids when he married Hema. Even then, no issues of any criticism were reported in the media.

Esha Deol tried her luck in Bollywood as an actress but after giving a few hits and some flops she bid goodbye to the entertainment world and married Bharat Takhtani in a closed-knit affair. Ahana never expressed her desire and interest towards acting. hence she married Vaibhav Vohra in 2014. Both the daughters of the actress are happily married and settled in life.

After marrying Hema, the Charas actor continued to play his fatherly duties towards his first family. Superstars Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are his sons from their first marriage who successfully achieved stardom following the footsteps of their fathers in the industry.

Jamai Raja actress not only ruled the entertainment industry but also BJP as an aspiring candidate in 1999. Till then she is serving the nation as a politician as well. Apart from all this, she is also active in supporting PETA Organization to promote the healthy living of animals on earth.

We believe she is a self-assured successful actress, politician, mother, wife and human being. And strong females like her are rare in this world who continue to serve humanity beyond retirement.
