Hema Malini needs no introduction. In an industry where the male star has always driven the commercial success of films, Hema Malini was an exception, with her name alone sufficing to ensure a film's box-office glory. She was, arguably, India's first female superstar. Apart from starring in mainstream super-hits like Johny Mera Naam, Jugnu, Andaz, Seeta Aur Geeta, Sholay and recently Baghban, she received critical acclaim for her performances in Lal Patthar, Khushboo, Kinara, Meera, Ek Chadar Maili Si and Razia Sultan. Publishing on her birthday, this is the authorized biography of a truly multi-faceted personality - a film-maker and producer, an active Member of Parliament from Mathura, a dancer par excellence, and a woman who has lived life on her own terms, providing an inside look at the life of one of our greatest cinema icons.
