I’d like to direct a film again: Hema Malini

Actor-filmmaker and politician Hema Malini is proud that women are gradually making a mark as directors in the film industry and said that she would like to go behind the camera herself again.

Hema’s first Bollywood directorial was the 1992 film Dil Aashna Hai, after which she wielded the megaphone for the 2011 box office dud Tell Me O Kkhuda, which featured her daughter Esha.

Over the years, women filmmakers like Zoya Akhtar, Gauri Shinde, Farah Khan and Madhureeta Anand have come to the fore.

Talking about it at an event here, Hema said: “I am so happy that there are so many woman directors coming forward and doing good films. 

“If an opportunity comes, I would like to direct a film once again. Currently, Mathura is taking lot of 

my time.”
