Talking about the same, Hema Malini mentioned how difficult it was for Dharmendra with his political career, as he had to travel a lot, and people had a craze about a legendary film star like him contesting. Sharing more about the same, Hema Malini stated:
"Dharamji didn’t like it. He told me not to contest election as it’s a very difficult task. He said, ‘I have experienced that.’ So when he said that it’s difficult task, I thought let me take it as a challenge. He faced a problem because he had to travel a lot of distance but he still did a lot of work. But when you are a film star working in politics, people have a lot of craze about you and want to approach you and you can imagine the craze people had about Dharamji. So it used to trouble him. I also face such problems which Dharamji doesn’t like. Because I am a woman so I am able to manage properly.”
In the same interview, Hema Malini added that Vinod Khanna helped her in her political career. Talking about the same, the actress added that Vinod took her to the election campaign and taught her how to give a speech. Talking about the same, Hema Malini shared:
"I was inspired by Vinod Khanna because he took me with him for his election campaign. He taught me a lot, how to give a speech, how to face the public. It’s not a joke to give a speech between 5000-6000 people, you get scared the first time.”
