Hema Malini’s biography, PM Modi & those accolades

'Beyond The Dream Girl', Hema Malini's biography, written by senior editor Ram Kamal Mukherjee, comes with a foreword written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.  So, even as it is set to be released on Monday (Hema's 69th birthday), the book is being talked about in the media.  

"I am truly honored that Narendra Modiji has penned a foreword to my biography," the 'Evergreen Beauty' says.  

Here is what Modi says in the foreword:  “Hema ji has distinguished herself as one of the leading Indian actors of our times. Her cinematic brilliance has spanned several films through the various decades. Her many roles have connected and endeared her to a wide range of cinema lovers. The efforts of Hema ji to popularise Indian classical dances, particularly among youngsters, are deeply commendable.” 

Hema wins Modi's accolades even as a BJP parliamentarian.  "Hema ji has also been an active BJP member for many years. She has served diligently in the Rajya Sabha and is currently serving in the Lok Sabha.  I have found her extremely sensitive towards the development aspirations of the people of Mathura, her constituency," he opines.
