It is a known truth that the slick and scandalous “Dard-e-Sherlyn” video is Sherlyn Chopra’s ‘tribute’ to the original Dream Girl, Hema Malini’s hit number “Dard” from ‘Dus Numbri’.

But in a latest interview in Delhi, Hema Malini has hit at Sherlyn with hurtful cynicism and told that the new comer is trying to gain mileage on her name, attaching nudity to it. She said, “It’s (the video) very hot, haan? My God, I don’t even know why she’s (Sherlyn’s) connecting me with a hot-hot thing. She’s trying to change her image maybe with my name. If she’s doing this, poor thing, I wish her success, for all those who see nudity will be happy. But my name is Hema Malini and that won’t change for anything.”



According Sherlyn’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar said, “I’ve known Hemaji as a wonderful person, and if she says Sherlyn is promoting nudity on her name, I dare not contest her opinion. After all, the video did receive 19 cuts from the Censor Board. If Sherlyn has a diva-like image, she can’t help it. You can’t ask a Madonna to be like an Alka Yagnik, can you?”

He explains, “See, Sherlyn made this video as a ‘tribute’ to Hemaji’s “Dard”. Hemaji ki ‘Dus Numbri’ 1976 mein release hui thi. Unka dard uss zamaane ka tha. Sherlyn ka dard iss zamaane ka hai, jo ki har naujawan ko hota hai. Hum sab jaante hain ki yeh dard thoda sa emotional hota hai, aur thoda sa sexual bhi.”

As of Now, Sherlyn’s “Dard” has emerged a big hit, but the powerful Hema Malini sure seems to be enraged and disturb. God bless you, Sherlyn.
