Anupam Kher has been a fan of Hema Malini from his school days and says, 'Hema Maliniji is undoubtedly the most graceful and dignified lady in the Indian film Industry.
I was in college when I first saw her shooting for #Kudrat film. I was 14 then. After getting into films I was lucky to have worked with her in some movies.
'Yesterday was her 75th birthday. She hosted a party. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings. Full of music, fun and nostalgia. And even after so many years #HemaJi has the same grace, dignity, magic and inner beauty! May God give her long, happy and healthy life. Hemaji ki jai ho!'
