Filmmaking is a tedious task: Hema Malini

"I am happy that my film did well at the box-office and now I would like to take rest for sometime. Filmmaking is a tedious task. I worked tirelessly for almost three years for my film because donning the hat of producer and director at a same time was really tiresome," said Hema, who made her directorial debut with Shah Rukh Khan-Divya Bharti starrer 'Dil Aashna Hai' in 1992.

Hema, 63, who was in the capital to promote Malabar Jewellery as its brand ambassador, says being a classical dancer, she wears a lot of jewellery.

"Since my childhood, I have been wearing different kinds of jewellery. As I am involved with classical dance and shows wearing head gears, bangles and neck pieces are something with which I am always associated with," Hema added.

Asked about what kind of jewellery she would like to gift her daughter Esha on her wedding day, Hema said, "Unlike us, today youngsters don't like too much jewellery. As that would be the wedding day of my daughter, I would like to present her a melange of contemporary and traditional designs which she can wear everytime."
