    Mumbai: Veteran Bollywood actress-turned-politician ‘Dreamgirl’ Hema Malini left many Mumbaikars rubbing their eyes with disbelief when she hopped onto a Mumbai Metro train for a ride and later commuted in an auto-rickshaw.

    The 74-year-old Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha MP from Mathura shared pictures and videos of her memorable journey on the public transport – the lifeline of over eight million Mumbaikars – on social media.

    En route, sporting a pink shirt and creamy-white trousers with a handbag slung on her shoulder, Malini warmly smiled and interacted casually with several commuters, and even posed for selfies with her fans on the Mumbai Metro ride, and then shot her experiences during an autorickshaw commute to her home.

    “I must share with all of you my unique, wonderful experience. Drove 2 hours to reach Dahisar by car, so tiring! In the evening decided I would try the Metro and OMG! What a joy it was!” gushed the exalted danseuse.

    She admitted that it was tough times during the construction of the Metro lines, but finally worth it, and she sounded amazed to reach from Dahisar to Juhu, “clean and fast” in just half an hour.

    After her fulfilling Metro journey, she decided to catch the ordinary Mumbaikar’s humble staple for quick commuting, a three-wheeler auto-rickshaw from D. N. Nagar right to the doorstep of her home in the glamourous Juhu area.

    “& that too was fulfilled. Landed by auto at my house and the dazed security could not believe their eyes! All in all, a wonderful, pleasurable experience for me!” said Malini, who played a motormouth Basanti, cracking the whip at her horse Dhanno while racing a tonga in the historic blockbuster ‘Sholay’ (1975).

    Besides ‘Dreamgirl’ and ‘Sholay’, Malini is memorable for her major roles in many other films like ‘Razia Sultan’, ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’, ‘Dillagi’, ‘Trishul’, ‘The Burning Train’, ‘Dream Girl’, ‘Sanyasi’, ‘Naseeb’, ‘Kranti’, ‘Johny Mera Naam’, ‘Abhinetri’, ‘Dharmatma’, ‘Mehbooba’, ‘Charas’, ‘Satte Pe Satta’, ‘Alibaba Aur 40 Chor’, ‘Ek Chadar Maili Si’, ‘Jamai Raja’, ‘Jugnu’, ‘Baghban’, ‘Kudrat’, ‘Dost’, ‘Dulhan’, ‘Meera’, ‘Chacha Bhatija’, ‘Shimla Mirchi’ and many more.

    Mumbai: Veteran actor and BJP MP Hema Malini left the audience spellbound as she performed the ballet ‘Ganga’, at an event in Mumbai on Sunday. Not only fans, Hema’s elder daughter Esha Deol was also mesmerized by her mother’s performance.

    Taking to Twitter on Monday morning, Esha wrote, “Watched my mum @dreamgirlhemaperform Ganga on stage. Absolutely remarkable performance, visually stunning with a very strong message on our environment & river restoration. Must watch her next show. Love you mamma. #gangaballetbyhemamalini”

    Esha posted a picture of Hema, performing an aerial dance on the stage. The ‘dreamgirl’ actor was dressed in glittery clothes.
    This event was organized under the initiative of the Maharashtra government, to spread awareness regarding the cleanliness of the River Ganga.

    Speaking to ANI, Hema earlier said, “Basically, it’s a dance ballet on River Ganga by me to spread awareness regarding the cleanliness of River Ganga. It was the initiative of Sushma Swaraj, and she wanted it to happen in Banaras”.

    “Ganga is ‘Dev Nadi’. She (Goddess Ganga) is coming from heaven for the benefit of humanity, and wherever the river flows, it is beautiful. It is very important to keep such a river clean. Not just Ganga, I would say, every river in the country should be kept clean. That’s what the concept of this ballet is. It is the initiative of the Maharashtra government to keep all 75 rivers flowing in the state, clean. I am glad that Maharashtra Culture Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar came up with the initiative,” Hema Malini said.

    She said that the ballet was earlier performed in Pune and Nagpur.

    “I have performed different types of ballet around the world, and they have been liked by the public. We represent our culture by enacting characters from our mythology like Durga, and Radha Krishna in pure classical form. But, in this ballet on River Ganga, we can’t put a very classical dance. So, you get to see a very free style of beautiful dances,” she added.
