Dubai: Legendary Bollywood actress Hema Malini has just begun shopping for her daughter's wedding in June. Her first stop: Malabar Gold, the jewellery brand that she endorses.

"I have shopped quite a lot because they have these beautiful traditional South Indian pieces — some rare pieces," said Hema in an exclusive interview with Gulf News yesterday. The Baghban star, who has ruled Bollywood for more than four decades and acted in over 150 films, was in Dubai to unveil the new logo of Malabar Gold.

"I was here around two years back for their showroom opening but I am glad that it's expanding in a big way," said Hema prior to the glittering function which also saw South Indian idol Mohanlal attend.

She also announced the date of her actress-daughter Esha Deol's wedding. "We are planning it sometime in June," revealed Hema.
