She’s ageless – and despite a lifetime of being in the public eye, often artless.
But then nothing about Hema Malini is what you expect it to be.
Her wildly successful career was only the starting point for what was, eventually, an intimate insight into a gutsy woman who followed her heart into almost unthinkable territory. Hema – along with biographer Ram Kamal Mukherjee, author of a new biography of the actor – spoke with candour about the extraordinary love that eventually led to her becoming actor Dharmendra’s second wife, and what that decision cost her, in personal and professional terms. “We have lived that choice with dignity,” she remarked, and that is an incontestable truth that even her fiercest critics acknowledge.
But the night wasn’t done till Hema – as talented a singer, it turns out, as she was actor – sang us the first verse of a song Dharmendra, she said, loves her to sing to him.
When you hear the song, it will take even more poignancy for knowing their story. Don’t miss this: watch the full session above!

Algebra, the Arts & Ideas Club brings together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking.
At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is a live and continuous space for people to come together for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host almost 35 engagements over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al.
