Dharamji will join me in Mathura next week: Hema Malini

Hema Malini is amused and angry at suggestions made by a section of the media that her family members are fighting shy of supporting her. “I don’t know why some people are saying this. Every person in my family from my husband to my daughters and their husbands have offered to come to Mathura to support me. Even my samdhans, Esha and Ahana’s mothers-in-law, have offered to come to Mathura. But who would recognize them? What purpose would it serve to have them around? As we speak my Bhabhi is with me. Just because the local media doesn’t recognize every member of my family doesn’t mean they are not here to support me.”

Hema says attempts to portray her as the tantrum-throwing Bollywood queen are feeble attempts to discredit her. “Nowhere have I shown any weakness or irresolution. Still my opponents talk of how distant I am from the local people of Mathura. Let the local people decide what they feel about me.”
