Hema Malini was and still remains one of the most popular and most loved female stars of Hindi cinema. Her A-List status cemented by her box office hit after hit magic touch has seen Hema in some of the most famous and enduring hits of Bollywood cinema.

The first film that shot her to fame was "Johnny Mere Naam"(1970) I've put together a gallery of screen captures from the film that are linked below.

There was a fresh innocence about Hema Malini. Even when she was performing a 'go for broke' item number like the one in "Dharmatma"(1975) Hema transforms the dance into sensual play, tantalizing but not titillating. Where in other hands (and feet) it could have fallen into raunchy bump and grind, Hema's interpretation is refreshing and desirable.

Along with Rekha and Vijayanthimala, Hema Malini possessed a style and grace in her dance that was transcendent. She is on screen magic and one of the few true Superstars of Bollywood.

With the actor Dharmendra who was her costar in a string of hit films Hema has a daughter Esha Deol, who currently is attempting to break into the big leagues in Bollywood.
