Hema Malini said Aishwarya Rai is the present 'dreamgirl',
The ever-good looking actress Hema Malini has called the former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the ‘Dream girl’ of the present age. The bygone days ‘Dream girl’ said, “Whoever is on top is the dream girl. I feel it is Aishwarya Rai.”
Malini, who was billed as the "dream girl" when she began her acting career in the 1970s, passed on her crown to Rai in an interview with The Times of India.
When asked who she felt deserved the title, Malini said: "Whoever is on top is the dream girl. I feel it is Aishwarya Rai."
The Sapno Ka Saudagar star claimed that life as an actress has changed very little since the '70s, saying: "It is what it was even 20 years back."
She added: "There's no need [for a size zero figure]. I was not a size zero. You must have a flat stomach - not a pot belly - and a nice and beautiful face - at least a tolerable face - and you can be an actress."
Hema Malini still tops the list of beauty and is considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses of Bollywood. Giving a cold shoulder to the size zero idea, the evergreen actress said, "There`s no need (for a size zero figure). I was not a size zero. You must have a flat stomach - not a pot belly - and a nice and beautiful face - at least a tolerable face - and you can be an actress."
Even at the age of 60, Hema Malini is not running short of films and she has two films in her kitty. One is ‘Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi’, where she will play the role of Vijaye Raje Scindia, mother of BJP leader Vasundhara Raje and the other one is opposite Nana Patekar.
Hema who has delivered hits like ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’, ‘Satte Pe Satta’, and ‘Sholay’ is planning to get into production. "I’m planning to start production. I don’t want to say much about it because every time I talk about these things, they never happen. It’s my desire to make lovely films because I am an artist and a very creative person," she said.
