"I was happy in the times I worked in, but I would have liked to be part of the industry now, as the money is pouring in like anything for stars who are successful. It was was not so during our times. Though we worked hard, the money then was less, certainly not the kind actors get now," she says, adding, "But as far as the roles are concerned, I had the opportunity to play nice roles, so I have no regrets about my career."
There's a time and place for everything, even in cinema, believes Hema. "It is wrong to compare the cinema of the past and that which is being created now," she says. "The kind of roles I did reflected the attitude and thoughts of those times. For instance, the character I played in Khushboo was based on Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya's novel, but if you make that film with Deepika or Katrina today, it will not be successful, since we cannot relate them with such characters. With time everything changes and there is nothing wrong in that," the actress added.
Girls today are far more disciplined
Hema, who refused any skin show during her hey days, says there is nothing wrong in how Indian actresses are dressing up on screen today. "They have great bodies and they look nice on screen. When girls in our homes are wearing such clothes, how can we expect stars to only wear saris? Today heroines are expected to have great figures and they really have to work hard to get those well-toned bodies. During our times we made no effort to change our natural body structure. We used to have lavish food on the sets brought by our mothers, but girls today are far more disciplined," she points out.
Never too late for a second innings
Esha may have tied the knot and bid goodbye to films, but mommy Hema says she aspired for a much more successful career for her eldest in films. "She is a talented actor and deserved much more success than she got. Though luck plays an important role, but Esha should have been more conscious while selecting films. If she had selected better films, things would have been different. Since I didn't want to put any pressure on her, so I gave her the freedom to choose her films. I advised her, but never forced her to do things. Even now it is not late, she can start a new innings in films, as she has the urge to do so. Moreover, perceptions about a married actor have also changed now. A star's marital status is no longer a hindrance in their career," avers Hema. "As far as Ahana is concerned she is very creative and wants to remain behind the camera. She wants to make a different kind of film, and is still on the lookout for a good subject," she adds.
I'd like to be really careful while making a film now
Her last directorial venture, Tell Me Oh Khuda failed to create a buzz at the BO, and so, Hema says she'd like to be "really careful" while making films now. "Filmmaking involves a lot of money and hard work which should not be wasted, though nobody knows which film will be a hit. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a huge hit, but as far as the story of the film goes, there wasn't much to it. For me, the subject should be strong since I would like to work with new faces; running after big names is futile, since they have no time. Good subjects can make stars out of new faces," she says.
