Hema Malini: Sunny Deol, nice human being like his father

Despite differences between Dharmendra’s two families, Bollywood’s ‘dream girl’ Hema Malini thinks Sunny Deol is a “nice human being” like his father.

Asked about her reaction to Deol’s latest film Ghayal Once Again, she said: “I have seen the film. It’s a very good film, a wonderful film.

“Sunny is a beautiful director. He is very nice human being with a clear heart just like Dharam ji. He has made a very nice film. I want people to watch the film and I wish and pray the film works at the box office.”

Her daughter and actress Esha Deol added: “I am happy that Ghayal Once Again has got great reviews.”

Ghayal Once Again hit the theatres this week, and had an opening collection of Rs72 million (Dh3.89 million). Directed by Deol, the film also features Soha Ali Khan and Om Puri.
