Hema
Malini
Recalls
Sitting
On
Dev
Anand's
Lap:
Veteran
actress
Hema
Malini
was
a
fresh
face
in
the
industry
when
she
appeared
alongside
Dev
Anand
in
the
1970
film
"Johny
Mera
Naam." Directed
by
Vijay
Anand,
the
movie
turned
out
to
be
a
major
success,
with
its
melodious
music
earning
immense
love
from
fans.
Malini
recently
fondly
recalled
an
incident
from
the
shoot
during
an
event
celebrating
Dev
Anand's
100th
birth
anniversary.
The
diva
narrated
a
funny
incident
from
the
shoot
of
a
song
from
the
film
that
left
her
embarrassed.
Hema
Malini
recalls
sitting
on
Dev
Anand's
lap
during
a
song
shoot
Remembering
an
incident
from
her
Johny
Mera
Naam
'O
Mere
Raja' song
shoot
and
said
she
was
stuck
on
a
sky
trolley
with
Dev.
The
shoot
happened
in
Bihar,
near
Nalanda,
and
a
portion
of
the
song
required
them
to
sit
in
a
sky
trolley.
She
recalled
an
embarrassing
moment
when
she
had
to
sit
on
Anand's
lap
for
a
scene,
calling
it
awkward.
"There
was
a
scene
where
we
were
supposed
to
go
in
the
rope
chair.
The
sequence
was
such
that
he
is
sitting
already
and
I
have
to
sit
in
another
chair
but
because
I
miss
it,
he
makes
me
sit
on
his
lap.
That
was
very
embarrassing
for
me,
in
real
life
also,
and
in
the
film
also
I
am
feeling
very
uncomfortable," she
shared.
She
then
laughed
as
she
said,
"So
the
shot
started
and
the
rope
chair
was
moving
but
right
in
the
middle,
it
stopped.
The
electricity
was
gone.
I
said
'Dev
saab,
I
can't
sit
like
this'.
I
didn't
want
to
put
my
whole
weight
on
his
lap.
It
was
very
very
uncomfortable."
Journalist
Bhawana
Somaaya,
who
was
interviewing
Hema
at
the
event,
added
that
Anand
comforted
a
scared
Malini
and
told
her
to
look
into
his
eyes
instead
of
looking
down.
Johny
Mera
Naam
is
counted
among
Hema
Malini's
biggest
hits,
while
Dev
Aanand
was
an
established
superstar.
On
September
26,
the
late
actor
celebrated
his
100th
birth
anniversary.
