Hema Malini's working life reached well past the film roles that made her famous, and Ram Kamal Mukherjee's biography follows every part of it.
The book covers her rise in Hindi cinema, her long commitment to classical dance, her television work and her later years in public life and politics. Mukherjee draws on interviews with her and with family members, friends and colleagues, which gives the account first-hand detail rather than a rearrangement of press coverage. Alongside the achievements he records the setbacks and the demands that a career of this length placed on her, building a portrait of someone who kept several careers running at once.
A closer look:
• Interviews with the subject, her family and her colleagues
• Coverage of her film work, dance training and public roles
• Attention to setbacks as well as successes across her career
• Context on Hindi cinema through the decades she worked in
Suited to readers of Indian cinema history and biography, and to anyone who enjoys a well-sourced life story, from Boipoka.
