There is an addition to music composer Dhina's life. It is his 'friend' Najeema, whom he says has brought a new meaning and dimension to his career and life. "My wife Hemamalini has recognised my relationship with Najeema," he says.

"I first saw Najeema at a dance show. She is a Kathak exponent. We met after the event and it slowly blossomed into a beautiful relationship. Her affection and love have shocked me. Such a nice person she is," says the 'Manmadha Rasa...' man.

Saying that her arrival had encouraged him a lot, the music director adds: "My wife Hemamalini understood well my feelings and recognised the new person in my life. I respect her like my mother and she would continue to guide me."

Dhina, who has donned the greasepaint for the first time in a film titled 'Soozhnilai', says: "I am playing a villain in the film. On the music front, I have decided to try some new things and you would get to see a new Dhina soon."
