Madhoo said that sh had the access to industry and it’s people because she was related to Hema Malini.
Actor Madhoo, who will next be seen in the film Kartam Bhugtam, has opened up about her journey in the film industry, given that she is related to Hema Malini and Juhi Chawla. Madhoo said that having connections with stars doesn’t assure success. However, she said that her relationship with Hema Malini earned her respect and access.
In an interview with Zoom Entertainment, the actor clarified and said, “I am Hema ji’s cousin and Juhi ji my sister-in-law married to my husband’s cousin. We are a family of actors. But, Juhi ji came into my life much later as a family member, only after I got married. And when I got married, I had kind of left the industry. So her being in the family, emotionally, or mentally, or physically, did not affect me.”

She continued, “But me coming from Hema ji’s family had an impact and only good impact. The thing is, coming from the home of an artist of Hema ji’s stature gave me a lot of dignity.”
Madhoo expressed that, regrettably, many aspiring actresses in Mumbai face unpleasant experiences. However, she noted that she was spared from such encounters, possibly because her father was already a producer and she was related to Hema.
The actor added, “So I carried that kind of dignity, some kind of respect. It did not give me a movie, it did not give me a hit, it did not give me appreciation even, but it gave me access and respect. If I went to somebody’s office, I was treated with respect. So that much respect I got because I came from Hema ji’s home.”
