"It's you people (the media) who says it flopped. 'Tell Me O Kkhuda' is doing well and it did not flop as you people are saying. Unlike 'RA.One', it has very less prints out so it is doing well accordingly," the veteran actress, who also directed the movie, told reporters at a press meet.
'Tell Me O Kkhuda', Hema's second directorial venture after the 1992 movie 'Dil Aashna Hai', opened to not-so-great reviews. Also, viewers were more excited about Shah Rukh Khan's sci-fi superhero film, which released at the same time.
The actress spoke at the Madhya Pradesh day celebrations and also expressed her support for the state's Beti Bachao Andolan, she added, "I will be doing a 20-minute show to present how women were treated in earlier times and how their conditions have changed now."
She added that she was lucky to have daughters - Esha and Ahana - and that "I have no wish of having sons as I know, I will get two jamais (sons-in-law) because of my daughters."
Hema, a Rajya Sabha member, was taken off guard when journos asked her if she was charging for her performance at the Madhya Pradesh day celebrations or was doing it for free.
"Why would I do it for free? There is an entire team who works with me," she replied, surprised, adding, "But yes, I am charging a nominal fees."
Madhya Pradesh is ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party. Hema Malini has been elected to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, another BJP ruled state, and is a vice-president of the party.
