'Make My Blouse Tight': Why Hema Malini Made This Request During 'Baghban' Shooting
1/7 After the release of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Amitabh Bachchan experienced a string of box office disappointments. 2/7 However, in 2003, his career saw a remarkable resurgence with the film Baghban, co-starring Hema Malini. 3/7 The film, which explored the emotional struggles of ageing parents neglected by their children, struck a chord with audiences. Made on a modest budget of Rs 10 crore, Baghban earned an impressive Rs 43 crore and became the fifth highest-grossing film of the year, according to Wikipedia. 4/7 Despite its later success, Baghban initially struggled to find a distributor. Many believed its story was too dated for contemporary cinema. But once released, the film was met with critical acclaim and commercial triumph. 5/7 The chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini, fondly known as Bollywood's 'dream girl', was a major highlight. Though both actors were well into their 50s and 60s at the time (Amitabh was 61 and Hema 55), their performances were praised for their grace, emotional depth, and timeless charm. 6/7 In a later interview, Renu Chopra, wife of director Ravi Chopra, revealed a unique behind-the-scenes detail. She said that for a romantic scene in which Amitabh Bachchan's character fastens Hema Malini's blouse, the actress made a specific request: 'Keep my blouse a little tight.

'His touch should...': Hema Malini asked Baghban makers for a tightly stitched blouse, wanted Amitabh Bachchan to...
Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini's performance in Baghban left everyone teary-eyed. The pairing was a superhit, and fans loved the two as an on-screen husband and wife. Even before Baghban, the two featured in movies like Veer-Zaara, Sholay, Naseeb, Andhaa Kaanoon, and Baghban were special. The emotion of ageing parents, husband and wife deeply in love but separated due to their kids—this movie felt different. A few months ago, Renuka Chopra, the wife of late director Ravi Chopra, who helmed Baghban, opened up new aspects of the film. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka revealed that Hema made a special request to the Baghban makers. The actress told the makers to get her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. The wife of the late director revealed that in one scene, Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten her blouse, and Hema wanted a specific look on her face. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tight so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' In the same conversation, Renuka revealed that Hema was not the first choice for the role of Pooja Malhotra. Initially, the makers wanted to cast Tabu. However, the actress turned down the role, stating that she didn't want to play the mother of four kids at 36. With that, the role was passed to Hema, and the pairing of Hema and Amitabh turned out to be a huge hit.

Not Hema Malini: This is the real name of Bollywood's Dream Girl.., it is…
Hema Malini or Hema Deol or something is the full name of Bollywood star, answer will leave you surprised In the golden era of Bollywood, stars were worshipped no less than gods. Their fans often celebrated their reel-life characters as their real-life identities, hailing them for their chemistry with co-star, imitating their dialogue, or copying their style. However, their true identity sometimes gets eclipsed by their on-screen character so much that nobody pauses to think about their real name. One such tale is of Bollywood's beloved actress, also popularly known as the 'Dream Girl', Hema Malini. She made her debut in the world of cinema in the year 1968 with Sapno Ka Saudagar. However, it was movies like Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, and Baghban that rose her to fame. From her strong screen presence to her classical dance, Hema won the hearts of millions in no time. However, on one end, Hema Malini is famously known as 'Basanti' , on the other hand, people don't know her real name. Recently, when the list of the election commission with winning candidates was released, her full name was what caught everyone's attention. Her real name, according to the official documents during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, is Hema Malini Dharmendra Deol . Her name included her husband's name and his last name, 'Deol'. What's even more intriguing is that the actor Dharmendra himself doesn't use his last name 'Deol' socially. However, his kids, Sunnu Deol, Bobby Deol, do. This revelation of Hema's official name not only sparked a buzz amongst her fans but also showcased their bond and reverence for marital identity. On the political front, Hema Malini has broken records for winning the seat for the third consecutive time in 2024 as she stood up for the BJP candidate from Mathura. Hema Malini's legacy continues to shine not just as an actress but also proves her as a trusted leader.
