| Actress Hema Malini is upset with rumours that husband Dharmendra is ill and says he is perfectly healthy and happy doing yoga, writing poetry and spending time with his family. |
| "It almost seems like people want him to fall ill. I'm being asked about Dharamji's health everywhere," Hema Malini told IANS on phone from New Delhi. Currently in New Delhi for a parliamentary session, Hema said: "Why are people unnecessarily making him fall ill? When I tell them he's well - in fact, in much better health than a lot of us - they are almost disappointed. Why? Because big stars being ill makes big news?" Hema said her husband is hale and hearty. "And happy too. Why can't people leave him alone? I must say I partially blame Dharamji for the illness rumours. He has a habit of complaining about his health...Yahan dard hai, wahan taqleef hai... He must've done so and someone must have overheard. Bas, the rumours must have started." |
But she has found a way of ensuring her husband's health. "I introduced Dharamji to yoga. He now practises it regularly. He also writes beautiful Urdu poetry. I wish I could write poetry, but I can't."
Evidently, the Dream Girl is his inspiration. "I wish I could've inspired him in more ways," she sighs.
"Dharamji is in Chandigarh with his two sons. He's having a ball. I wish people wouldn't make up stories about his health."
