Hema Malini Dharmendra Deol[4] (born 16 October 1948)[5] also known as 'Dream Girl' of 70s is an Indian actress, director, producer, and politician who is currently serving as a member of the Lok Sabha from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), representing Mathura constituency since 2014. She was a member of the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka from 2011 to 2012, subsequent to her nomination to that chamber from 2003 to 2009 as a member of the BJP.[6] Primarily known for her work in Hindi films, she has starred in both comic and dramatic roles, and is one of the most popular and successful leading actresses of mainstream Hindi cinema.[7][8][9]
Malini was born in a TamilIyengar Brahmin[18] family to Jaya Lakshmi and VSR Chakravarti Iyengar in Ammankudi, Madras Province (now Tamil Nadu).[19][20][21] She attended the Andhra Mahila Sabha in Chennai, where her favourite subject was history.[22] She studied at DTEA Mandir Marg until the 11th Standard, after which she pursued her acting career.[23]
On 11 June 2015, Malini became a grandmother when her younger daughter, Ahana Deol Vohra , gave birth to her first child, Darien Vohra and twin girls Astraia and Adea Vohra were born on 26 November 2020. On 19 October 2017, her elder daughter, Esha Deol , gave birth to a girl, Radhya Takhtani and another baby girl Miraya Takhtani on 10 June 2019.[31] Businessman Vaibhav Vohra is her son-in-law and Bharat Takhtani is her ex-son-in-law.
In the 1990s, she produced and directed the 1992 film Dil Aashna Hai, starring Divya Bharti and Shah Rukh Khan in the leading roles. She also produced and directed her second feature film Mohini (1995), starring her niece Madhoo and actor Sudesh Berry in the leading roles. She then focused on dancing and television work, only occasionally appearing in films.[32] In 1997, she acted in Vinod Khanna's production Himalay Putra.
2000(s)–present
After taking a break from films for a number of years, Malini made a comeback with Baghban (2003),[32] for which she earned a Filmfare Best Actress Award nomination. She also made guest appearances in the 2004 film Veer-Zaara and the 2007 film Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, in addition to a supporting role in the 2006 film Baabul. In 2010, she acted in Sadiyaan alongside fellow veteran actress Rekha. In 2011, she produced and directed her third feature film Tell Me O Khuda which featured both her husband Dharmendra and her daughter Esha Deol, which was a box office failure.[35] In 2017 she acted in the film Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi in the role of Vijaya Raje Scindia of Gwalior, with Vinod Khanna as her husband; unfortunately it was Khanna's last film. The film was directed by Gul Bahar Singh. The film was released on 21 April 2017. Her latest film is Shimla Mirchi, starring Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh.[36] The movie was theatrically released in India on 3 January 2020 and made available on Netflix on 27 January 2020.
In 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Hema Malini retained her Mathura Lok Sabha seat with comfortable margin. While Hema Malini won 6,71,293 votes, her nearest rival Kunwar Narendra Singh received 3,77,822 votes, so that she won the Mathura seat by around 3 lakh votes.[42][43]
In 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Malini won Mathura Lok Sabha constituency by a huge margin against Congress candidate Mukesh Dhanger, making it a hat-trick from Mathura.[44][45]
Controversy
In 2016 the Bombay High Court entertained a Public Interest Litigation challenging allotment of a plot of land in Mumbai to Malini's dance academy. The petitioner Ketan Tirodkar sought to file a cheating case against the actress for defrauding the government to allot a piece of land which was reserved for gardens. The State Government of Maharashtra informed the Bombay High Court that Malini had not yet accepted the land allotted to her.[46][47][48][49]
Association with social causes
Malini is a supporter of the animal rights organisation, PETA India. In 2009, she wrote a letter to the Mumbai Municipal Commissioner urging him to ban horse carriages from Mumbai's busy streets.[50] In 2011, she wrote to the Union Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh, urging him to ban bull fighting (jallikattu).[51] She said, "My friends at PETA have organised investigations at Jallikattu events and documented that bulls are pulled roughly by their nose rings, punched, pummelled, hit with sharp sticks and crammed into trucks so tightly that they can barely move".[52] PETA named Malini their "PETA Person of the Year" for 2011.[53] As a vegetarian, she said, "Knowing that my food choices are helping the planet and animals too, makes me happy".[54]

She could dance, act, emote with equal ease."[75]Rajeev Masand termed her the "radiant superstar".[76] Dinesh Raheja of Rediff.com praised her "takes-your-eyes-prisoner beauty" and "tinkling laugh" and noted, "Hema was never in danger of being mistaken for a thespian.
