Veteran actor and BJP MP Hema Malini said Bollywood would "always remain in high esteem" and no one could bring it down in a flash over allegations like drugs and nepotism. In an emotional defence of the film industry, she said, "I got name, fame, respect, everything from this industry... it feels really hurtful." She spoke to NDTV on a day another senior actor Jaya Bachchan, her contemporary in Hindi films, spoke emphatically in parliament against what she called attempts to vilify the film industry with allegations of drug abuse.
