 Hema Malini thinks the sari isn’t being accorded the respect it deserves at international events. The epitome of grace and beauty as always had her sari ready for the Bangkok International Film Festival, which had a retrospective on her.
"And it was worn with the dignity that the apparel deserves," Hema said. "I see it being worn in strange ways at these events where our representatives are being watched by millions. The pallu is awry and the girls end up looking undignified. Just because you want to show off your curves, it doesn’t mean you can wear the sari like that." Her younger daughter Ahana accompanied her to the festival that started on Thursday. Incidentally, there was a story in Hema’s heydays about how she never repeated her saris.
"Yes that’s true," Ahana said. "My mother would buy so many Kanjeevarams. Nowadays it’s tougher to repeat the sari since the media catches the repetition and highlights it." Hema’s first retrospective was shown at the festival. "I took personal interest in selecting the films. Initially, I didn’t realise the importance of this honour. We finally selected five of my films — Lal Patthar, Sholay, Baghban, Dillagi and Khushboo," said Hema who was very keen on including the 1974 starrer Prem Nagar.
"But that film has already been much-seen in that part of the world. In Thailand, they’re crazy about seeing me and Rajesh Khanna together," she said. Hema is in Bangkok till July 21. |
