Hema Malini Politics Entry: Why was Dharmendra scared as soon as Hema Malini entered politics? ‘Dream Girl’ made a big revelation on the condition of contesting elections from Mathura itself

Bollywood’s famous ‘Dream Girl’ and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Hema Malini has been elected MP from the cultural city of Mathura in Uttar Pradesh for the last 12 years. Recently, during a special interview, he openly opened the unheard pages from his film career to his political journey. Hema Malini revealed that when she decided to enter active politics, her husband and veteran actor Dharmendra was completely against the decision. Dharmendra himself had not had a very pleasant experience of going into politics, so he did not want Hema to also enter this field. Dharmendra was worried about Hema’s safety: ‘He-Man’ was afraid of crowds at rallies and flights. Hema Malini told that when she started campaigning for BJP, the party used to send her to different states and far-flung areas of the country. During these tours, Dharmendra was extremely scared and worried about his safety every moment. Dharmendra would often ask Hema over the phone if she was really sure that she was safe amidst that huge crowd of election rallies? Dharmendra was very nervous not only about ground rallies, but also about the frequent helicopter trips during the election campaign. However, it was during these tours that Hema Malini deeply realized her real popularity among the general public and their unconditional love. Mother had written the first election speech, Vinod Khanna became the political guide. Giving full credit to her mother for entering politics, Hema said that initially she was not at all in favor of entering politics. But his mother explained to him that BJP was a loyal and good party under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani. At the same time, Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna gave him practical guidance to move forward in the path of politics. Hema Malini gave her first political speech in support of Vinod Khanna in Gurdaspur, Punjab during the 1999 Lok Sabha elections. She was very nervous at that time, because she did not know how to speak in political language, then her mother had written and prepared her first speech in Hindi. ‘I will contest elections only from Mathura’: This special condition was kept in devotion to Kanha. Hema Malini, representing the Mathura parliamentary seat, has registered a historic victory by scoring a hat-trick consecutively in the 2014, 2019 and recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Hema Malini had a very special condition for entering electoral politics. She had made it clear that if she contests the elections, she will contest only from Mathura seat, because she is an ardent devotee of Lord Shri Krishna and has a spiritual and spiritual connection with Mathura. Initially the Mathura seat was being reserved for some other candidate, but considering this condition and unwavering devotion of Hema Malini, the party leadership finally handed over this seat to her, after which she has been continuously serving the area.
