This actress got the tag of a home-breaking actress. Dilip Kumar also fell in love with this actress. That is why Saira Banu was very jealous of the chemistry between Dilip Kumar and this actress.

She met Chamanlal on the film set. When she fell ill on the set, Chamanlal came for treatment, where they fell in love, whereas Chamanlal was the father of three children, and he divorced his wife and married Vyjayanthimala.
In 1984, she won the election as a Congress member and remained in the party for a long time. She resigned after the death of Rajiv Gandhi in 1999. The actress was awarded the Padma Shri in 1968.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR Actioner Sells 78,000 Tickets In Hindi Chains
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 sells 78K Hindi tickets with a day to go, aiming for a Rs 30–35 crore opening day. With just one day left for its grand release, War 2 is making solid strides at the box office in India. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the high-octane action drama stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles. The Hindi version's advance bookings have been performing well, with momentum picking up after ticket sales opened in the southern states. In the top cinema chains — PVRInox and Cinepolis — War 2 has already sold 78,000 tickets for its Thursday opening, with the final figure expected to land between 1.5 to 1.75 lakh tickets. This strong pre-release response sets the stage for an opening day in the Rs 30–35 crore net range for the Hindi version alone. Telugu States Bookings Begin Strong for Jr NTR Fans In the Telugu-speaking states, bookings for War 2 have started on a promising note, largely driven by Jr NTR's fanbase. While the numbers won't match typical Tollywood blockbusters — given the film's positioning as a Bollywood project — they remain 'pretty solid." Industry trackers predict that the Telugu-dubbed version could secure the third-highest Bollywood opening in the region, behind Saaho and Adipurush. The Independence Day holiday on Day 2 offers a major boost opportunity, with War 2 aiming for Rs 50 crore-plus net collections in Hindi on Friday. The film's clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie wasn't initially considered a major concern. However, Coolie's strong pre-release momentum in certain markets has slightly tightened the race. International Bookings Off to a Moderate Start While domestic sales are encouraging, War 2's international advance bookings remain modest. Current estimates point to a USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend overseas. Globally, the film is tracking for an opening weekend in the Rs 300–350 crore range. By comparison, Coolie appears on course to approach Rs 400 crore worldwide. With massive star power, slick action, and the backing of a major franchise, all eyes are now on audience word-of-mouth. Positive reviews could be the key factor that pushes War 2 towards record-breaking numbers both domestically and internationally. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hema Malini recalls how her blooming off-screen romance with Dharmendra added to their crackling chemistry as 'Veeru' and 'Basanti' in 'Sholay'
The iconic 'Sholay' is set to complete 50 years on August 15. The film is one of the most memorable movies of Hindi cinema and not just the film, but all the characters have also become a part of the popular culture - be it Jai, Veeru, Gabbar, Thakur or Basanti. While the film remains special for the cinegoers for many reasons, it's also special for Hema Malini and Dharmendra because jus like their on-screen characters, love bloomed for them even off-screen. This furter made 'Sholay' more exciting to watch even for the audience. In a recent conversation, Hema Malini opened up about how their off-screen love story subtly intertwined with their on-screen magic. The actress said during a chat with NDTV, 'He was very fond of me as I was of him. We had a lovely relationship because we had worked on so many movies together. We shared so much with each other — sometimes they were problems, sometimes it was happiness. Eventually, friendship led to love, maybe that's what was reflected on the big screen too, in the film. It's natural, isn't it? A lovely friendship ultimately leads to love and care for each other.' In 'Sholay', Hema's 'Basanti' became a cultural icon — the bubbly tangewali whose wit, innocence, and spirit still have audiences smiling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now She recalled with affection the very first scene she shot for the film, the now-famous 'Mandir' sequence with Dharmendra. The Dream Girl Of Bollywood, recalled, 'The Mandir scene was the first scene I shot. It was a lot of fun. So innocently, Basanti was accepting everything and answering back to Lord Shiva. Everything was very different. Shooting happened outdoors in hot summers; I don't think we shot anything indoors. Even Ramanagara in Karnataka, where the climax scene happens, is as it was. They have not built anything there.' Dharmendra and Hema Malini have worked together in many movies like 'Tum Haseen Main Jawan', 'Seeta Aur Geeta', 'Alibaba Aur 40 Chor' apart from 'Sholay'. The film directed by Ramesh Sippy was a casting coup of sort with actors like Amitabh Bachchan , Jaya Bachchan , Sanjeev Kumar , Amjad Khan, apart from Dharmendra and Hema.
