Varsha Pillai: What did you think when you saw Apne for the first time?
Hema Malini: My immediate reaction after seeing Apne was 'wow'. That's the way he has to make a comeback.
Varsha Pillai: What did you think of his role in Metro?
Hema Malini: I liked his role in Metro. His character, the entire concept of that elderly couple was very sweet. However, I thought his role was a bit small in the movie.
Varsha Pillai: Dharmendra values your opinion a lot and you are quite a critic when it comes to his roles. How does he take that?
Hema Malini: Yes, that's true. I keep telling him, 'don't do this, don't do that' and he always wonders whether I will like his film or not. But I really liked Apne when I saw it. I told him that it is a beautiful film and you have made me very proud. (smiles)
Varsha Pillai: Dharmendra had once said that he would like to do a Roman Holiday with Preity Zinta. How do you react to that?
Hema Malini: I think as an actor he should do it. Why not? I am not jealous or anything. We have crossed that stage of feeling jealous for each other. He's a very fine actor.
Varsha Pillai: Did seeing Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby together in a film make you feel that you would like to do a film with both your daughters?
Hema Malini: Yes sure. Definitely I would love to do a film with my daughters. (laughs)
