Hemi is often referred to as “Dreamgirl”. In her first two movies, ‘Idhu Sathiyam’ (1961) and ‘Pandava Vanavasam’ (1965), Hemi was a dancer. Her break came when she did a screen test for Raj Kapoor for ‘Sapno Ka Saudagar’ (1968) and became his co-star in the movie.

Hemi was often paired with Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Dev Anand, and Dharmendra. She married iconic actor Dharmendra in 1980, and they have two daughters. In 2000, Hemi won a Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award and a Padma Shri from the government of India. In 2014, she won a seat in the Lok Sabha (representatives of the people chosen by direct election), as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved a good story. As an American, most of the movies I have watched were made in Hollywood. As I got older I lost interest in Hollywood movies and started watching Bollywood movies. Now I enjoy Tollywood, Kollywood, and Mollywood films as well.
