Modi writes about Dream girl, Hema Malini

The first full-length biography of “evergreen beauty” Hema Malini, also a BJP Parliamentarian, will be launched on Monday on her 69th birthday.

In one of his first forewords for any book, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Hema Malini’s cinematic brilliance during her 50 years in Indian showbiz.

“Hema-ji has distinguished herself as one of the leading Indian actors of our times. Her cinematic brilliance has spanned several films through the various decades. Her many roles have connected and endeared her to a wide range of cinema lovers. The efforts of Hema-ji to popularise Indian classical dances, particularly among youngsters, are deeply commendable,” Modi says in his foreword to Beyond The Dreamgirl, the authorised biography of the actor.
