Hema Malini’s recent interaction with a fan has sparked a lot of debate on social media. At a public event, the veteran actress seemed visibly uncomfortable when a fan approached her for a photo and ended up shrugging the woman’s arm away. This action didn’t sit well with many netizens, who quickly compared her behavior to that of Jaya Bachchan, another actor known for her stern reactions towards fans and the paparazzi.
Social media users were quick to criticize Hema, with some pointing out that her demeanor during election campaigns is much more approachable, making the contrast even more striking. Comments ranged from accusing her of being arrogant to drawing parallels between her and Jaya Bachchan’s often criticized behavior.

A social media user quipped, “Hema malini aur jaya bacchan dono ghamandi aurte hain”, whereas another fan joked, “Jaya bacchan ne roop liya hai hema ji ka.” A third internet user accused: “Ye jaya bachchan vali harkat kyo kr re h ”, while another comment read: “Same like jaya bachan.” Shocked at the expression on Hema ji’s face, one netizen even stated: “She is acting like she is untouchable or something.” But there were a few fans who came out in Hema’s support, slamming fans for getting too close to celebs and disrespecting their personal space.
For instance, one social media user stated: “Voting k time pr gale milenge haath milayenge”, whereas another netizen pointed out: “But Hema Malini doesn’t mind hugging complete strangers during election campaigns..”
However, not everyone was against Hema Malini. Some fans defended her, arguing that celebrities deserve their personal space and that fans should be more respectful when approaching them. This incident highlights the fine line celebrities walk between maintaining their privacy and being in the public eye, with social media often amplifying any perceived missteps.
