Dubai: Veteran actor and parliamentarian Hema Malini has said that some secrets should not be revealed so as to retain a bit of mystery to the personality. "I think a closed fist is more interesting than an open one. It is important for celebrities to keep some secrets in order to maintain a bit of mystique," said Hema Malini during the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) 2017. The 69-year-old actor was asked about the social media and its role in the society. Hema Malini also said that her time was supposed to have been the golden age as it was so different then.
"There was a kind of passion that is missing today. People are now not as emotionally independent and they succumb to the pressures of the industry. We should be strong, especially as today we are living in a world that is full of opportunities," she said.
The veteran actor also discussed her biographyBeyond The Dream Girl, which has been penned by author Ram Kamal Mukherjee.
SIBF 2017 is hosting a number of celebrities, authors, intellectuals and publishing sector luminaries as part of its Cultural Activities program.
