Famous actress of the 70s-80s, Hema Malini was not only the first choice of directors and producers in her time, but actors also used to fall in love with the ‘dream girl’ at first sight. Sita Aur Geeta actress left all the stars and chose an already married actor, Dharmendra, as her life partner in the year 1980.
However, many big actors of that era wanted to marry Hema. One of these stars was Thakur Sanjeev Kumar of ‘Sholay’, who had fallen in love with Hema and wanted to make her his bride. Hema was also planning to marry Sanjeev Kumar, but because of a slipper and kurta-pyjama, everything went haywire, and their relationship could not reach the wedding stage.
Sanjeev Kumar never did this work
He was a very good actor, but I have never seen a man who would go anywhere under any circumstances. When we were young and used to go out, everyone would dress up, but he never did that.
Sanjeev Kumar arrived in front of Hema Malini in this condition
Aruna Irani further said, “I heard that he wanted to marry Hema Malini and he had come to meet her in that condition. Hema ji refused as soon as she saw him, and everything went wrong there. Hema ji really wanted to take this relationship forward, she was gathering courage, but when she saw Sanjeev Kumar in slippers and kurta-pyjama, she could not think further, because he had no style”.
The actress said, “First of all, his personality was not stylish, and on top of that, he wore such clothes that everything went haywire”.
