Even today? "Earlier, my first reaction on being told I was beautiful was: is that so? I''m good-looking but my looks have been given to me by God.
I''m not vain about my looks. I try to eat right and believe that if a person is happy inside, this reflects externally."<br /><br />Hema has many reasons to be happy -- she has a promising career in politics, her biography has been released, and her daughter Esha Deol has found success on the silver screen. "She looks beautiful in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Dhoom</span>. People ask me about her outfits in the film; she is a modern-day girl and will dress up like girls her age do. During my days as an actress, my mother asked me to wear only Kanjeevaram saris, but both she and I changed with time. Today, I even wear spaghetti straps with saris."<br /><br />For Hema, her proudest moment is seeing her daughters Esha and Ahana perform at dance festivals. "It''s a divine feeling when all three of us are together on stage. I''d love to do a mother-daughter film with Esha but the right script is needed first."<br /><br />Currently busy with a daily soap, Hema has another film opposite Amitabh Bachchan coming up. Besides, there could be "a very big political announcement" soon. "I''ve led a very rich life and have begun my journey as a politician. Being in Parliament is a wonderful feeling. I love interacting with people. Even today, when I go to villages, people call me Basanti. They don''t know me as Hema Malini."<br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic=""><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></span></div> </div>
