Guess What? Hema Malini Nearly Gave Baghban the Boot Until Her Mom Stepped In With This Zinger…

Hello, doston! It’s your favorite Bollywood spy, Khabree Kiran, back with another scoop from the glitzy world of Hindi films! Buckle up for some masala, humor, and a sprinkle of Hindi slangs as we dive into today’s juicy tidbit!

Hema Malini’s Baghban Dilemma: To Be or Not to Be? 🤔

Arre, suno suno! Remember that tear-jerking classic, Baghban? Directed by Ravi Chopra, this film is celebrated for its emotional portrayal of family ties and the dardbhari (painful) realities of old age.

Our Dream Girl, Hema Malini, was 55 when she was approached for the role. Picture this: the once-alluring diva, known for her jaw-dropping beauty and glamorous roles, being asked to play mummyji to four fully grown lads! 😳 Kya soch rahi hogi Hema ji? Well, the lady herself confessed she was jittery about being typecast as an on-screen mom. Can you blame her?

Lekin, twist in the tale! Enter stage left, Hema ji’s real-life mom. During a chat with the film’s director, mummyji pulled a “beta, yeh role kar le, story badi zabardast hai” move. And just like that, Hema ji was convinced. Moms, I tell you. They always know how to get their way! 😂

Hema Malini Reflects on Baghban’s Impact and Her Role

So, as Baghban celebrates its 20th anniversary, Hema ji took a trip down memory lane. She recalled her initial unease about playing a mother to adult sons. But here’s the kicker: when she heard that Amitabh Bachchan was also in the film, her worries melted away. Big B ka kamaal, hai na? 😄

Baghban tells the poignant tale of an elderly couple, played by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini, who struggle with their children’s reluctance to care for them. It’s a story about love, duty, and the emotional rollercoaster that aging parents endure.

And let’s not forget the star filled cast: Salman Khan’s special appearance and performances by Aman Verma, Samir Soni, Saahil Chaddha, and Nasir Khan as the sons. Kya ensemble tha, boss!

With Baghban, Hema Malini made a grand comeback, proving she could ace mature roles too. The film solidified her as one of Bollywood’s timeless icons, showcasing her versatility and depth as an actor. Wah, Dream Girl! 👏

Kiran’s Gyan:

“Bollywood mein sab kuch chalta hai, bas thoda drama aur mummy ka approval zaroori hai!” 😜

Stay tuned for more gossip, straight from the heart of Bollywood. Until next time, keep your popcorn ready and your secrets safe with me, Khabree Kiran! 📽️🍿
