Hema Malini Was Offered Amitabh Bachchan’s Mother Role, This Was Dreamgirl’s Reaction

A lot has changed in the industry now compared to back years for Bollywood actresses. Earlier, where the career of the actresses was considered over after marriage, today heroines are not only doing successful films after marriage, but even after becoming mothers, they are getting lead roles. However, many actresses of the past have suffered this pain when their importance in films was reduced as soon as they got married.

The same happened with Hema Malini, who is called Bollywood’s dream girl, when she was offered the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother. The pair of Hema Malini and Amitabh adorned the screen many times. Whenever the two came together, the audience showered a lot of love on them. Hema played Amitabh’s wife and girlfriend many times, but when they got married, the makers started giving her the role of Amitabh’s mother. Not only Amitabh but Jitendra’s mother’s role was also offered to her. This was disclosed by Hema Malini in an interview.

In a conversation, Hema had said, “What is it in the Hindi film industry that as soon as you get married, you start getting mother’s roles. Earlier, with whom you have worked as a heroine, the very next day after marriage, you start getting the roles of their mother. The same happened to me after marriage when I was offered to become Jitendra’s mother. Even the makers wanted me to become Amitabh Bachchan’s mother.”

Hema smiled while referring to this anecdote and said, “The makers used to comfort me that he is playing the role of both son and father, so you have to play his mother. Although I used to refuse such a character. I have done a few such films, but I used to feel very uncomfortable. If someone wants to make a film with me who I am today it doesn’t matter but the role should be focused on me. No need to play mother.”

When asked to Hema if this happens to Hero as well? To this Hema said, “No this happens only with heroines. Not at all with Hero. Those people used to offer me this role as if I am going to become Mother India, but I used to say that I do not want to do this “.

At the same time, there were reports of Hema getting married to Jitendra. It is said that Jitendra liked Hema very much and wanted to marry her, but Dharmendra had earlier decided that he would make Hema his own. After this Dharmendra made such an affair that Hema also fell in love with him and both of them got married.
