Indian cinema is an excellent anti-depressant. It’s funny, nostalgic, incredible (in every sense of the word). We practically know many movies by heart. Take the melodrama Seeta and Geeta (Seeta Aur Geeta): the film was released exactly 50 years ago – in 1972, but many still enjoy watching it.
Zita and Gita
Hema Malini played the lead role of twin sisters Zita and Gita who were separated at an early age. (real name – Hemamalini Ramanujam Chakravarty). At the time of filming, the Indian beauty was only 23 years old.
Hema actively acted until 2000, after which she and her husband went into politics and only occasionally returned to cinema. She made her own film in 2011, but it flopped at the box office.
Today, Malini is 73 years old but still looks great. We would even say envy. Even in personal life and career, everything is fine. Together with her husband Dharam Singh, they raised two daughters and made a fortune – about 850 million dollars.
Interesting facts from the life of “Zita and Gita” star Hema Malini
- In India, the vast majority of girls are married before the age of 20 (or even strictly at 18). In the case of Hema, however, the parents came to her aid and despite the fact that they chose the groom themselves, they agreed to wait until their daughter graduated from acting university. At the age of 21, she completed her studies and her Bollywood career took off.
- The age of actresses in India is short-lived. Usually, girls are removed until the age of 27 and enjoy roles in romantic melodramas. Then you become one of the aunts and mothers in Bollywood, and there are always plenty of candidates for these roles. In many ways, this is also the reason why in the noughties Malini moved on to other fields of activity.
- Dancing is Hema’s great passion which has given her an edge and added personality. In her films, the actress always performed intricate dance numbers that made her stand out from other artists.
