People are mesmerized by their dance. However, surprisingly her husband and Bollywood superstar Dharmendra has not seen a single stage performance of her till date. This has been revealed by Hema Malini herself.
Why doesn't Dharmendra watch Hema's show? Hema Malini also told the reason in an interview given to Simi Grewal. Hema said on the chat show 'Rendezvous with Simi Garewal', “It is very traditional and conservative. My stage performances are very popular everywhere, but they have not seen any of them. They think I am very different on stage. And he also feels that when I perform on stage, he doesn't like to watch my shows.
Dharmendra did not allow his daughter to dance Hema further said that Dharmendra did not allow his daughters to dance initially. Hema said, 'Isha wanted to become a professional dancer. She wanted to make her name in Bollywood. But Dharamji did not want his daughters to work in the film industry or dance. He was strongly against these things. However, when he came to know how I dance and what people say about my dance, he allowed his daughters to dance and act.
