Veteran Bollywood actress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Hema Malini attended an event in Mumbai on Wednesday (August 21). Several pictures and videos of the actor-politician have surfaced on social media platforms. However, what caught everyone's attention was Hema getting irked when a woman tried to keep her hand on her shoulder while posing for paps.
In a video posted on Instagram by a celebrity photographer, Hema Malini is spotted with Anup Jalota and several other people at an event. However, soon after a woman tries to pose with her, the actress looked visibly uncomfortable. "Haath nahi..." she is heard saying in the video while gesturing the woman to move aside.
In fact, a man comes in between and he asked the woman to keep distance while posing with the veteran star. Check out the video here:
Netizens react to Hema Malini's video
Soon after the video surfaced, netizens slammed the actress-politician for her not so polite gesture towards the woman. "Saari zindagi aadmiyo k sath kaam kiya ab budhape me aurat ka hath touch hone par aitarz dikha rahi," a user commented.
Another wrote, "Election k time janta should remember this."
"Kitna attitude hai isme....pata nai kya samajhti hai apne ap ko," a user wrote.
Meanwhile, off late, Hema Malini has been making headlines for the wrong reasons. Last week, she was criticised for her tone-deaf and insensitive reaction to Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from Paris Olympics.
Reacting to it, Hema Malini had said, "It is surprising that Phogat was disqualified because of 100 grams. It shows how important it is to keep our weight under control. This is a learning for all artists, women and all that 100 grams also matters a lot. It is sad. I hope she looses 100 grams quicky, but we won't get it (Olympic medal)."
