Chandigarh, January 28

It was in 1989 that Hema Malini, the dream girl, got married to Dharmendra. Hema Malini was one of the top actresses of 70th and 80th and busiest.

At the time of her marriage, she was shooting for the movie ‘Kranti’, which was a superhit. Kranti, which was directed and produced by actor Manoj Kumar, was multi-starrer film. Manoj Kumar had put all his stakes and wealth to it.

Hema Malini was also shooting for her second film Razia Sultan in those days. But the next day after the wedding, Hema Malini reached the sets of Kranti and said that today’s shooting should be finished soon because she has to go for the shooting of some other film as well.

Manoj Kumar did not like this unprofessional attitude of Hema Malini as he was working really hard on the movie.

This really annoyed Manoj. As a reprimand, Manoj Kumar kept Hema sitting on the set without work for the whole day.

Hema got angry and went back to her house. Hema was actually giving more importance to the film ‘Razia Sultan’, she felt that the film would be a hit.

But when both the films were released, Razia Sultan do not do well and ‘Kranti’ a superhit.

Let us inform that when Kamal Amrohi, director of ‘Razia Sultan’ came to know about this, he also called Manoj Kumar. In such a situation, Manoj Kumar told Amrohi that Hema should have taken permission from me to do another film. While, I was not told that she is shooting for other film other than ‘Kranti’. However, there is a more famous story behind it. It is said that Hema Malini did not want to wear a white sari in the shoot as she was married and was asking to shoot this scene sometime over which Manoj Kumar got angry.
