Hema Malini expresses displeasure at fans lining up for pic at an event, says, ‘didn’t come here for selfies’ | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

At the launch of Gulzar‘s authorized biography, ‘Gulzar Saab: Hazar Rahein Mud Ke Dekhin,’ in Mumbai, veteran actor Hema Malini was visibly displeased with fans requesting selfies. In a video from the event, she was heard saying, “Selfie lene ke liye thode aaye hain” (We’re not here to take selfies).

The incident sparked reactions on social media, with some expressing disappointment at Hema Malini’s response, deeming it rude.

Comparisons were drawn to Jaya Bachchan, who is known for expressing frustration with the paparazzi in Mumbai. Later, the “Dream Girl” was seen at the launch, along with Gulzar.

Hema Malini, who recently celebrated her 75th birthday with a grand party attended by yesteryear superstars like Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Jaya Bachchan, and others, has been an iconic figure in the Indian film industry. The actor was also present at Dharmendra’s 88th birthday celebration in December, sharing a heartfelt note on social media.
While Hema Malini was last seen in the 2020 film “Shimla Mirchi,” her recent interaction at the book launch has stirred varied reactions among fans.
