Hema Malini, in her book, Beyond The Dream Girl talks about her interaction with superstar, Rajesh Khanna. It seems the two did not get along very well and both thought the other was “too arrogant”.

on’t know what the issue was but something was amiss with Rajesh Khanna. He would behave strangely with me in the initial days. No doubt he was the reigning superstar and women would adore him for his charm. But I didn’t give him any special bhaav as a co-actor. People around him would often tell him false stories about me. And the same set of people would come to me and tell me stories about him. Rajesh thought that I was arrogant while I thought that he was too full of himself. But eventually we broke the ice when we started working together in back-to-back mov

Hema Malini, in her book has also spoken about her interaction with Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia during the filming of her first directorial venture, Dil Aashna Hai in 1992.

I wanted to shoot a paragliding scene with Mithun (Chakraborty) in Dil Aashna Hai, and there was an aeroplane scene which was required for a song sequence. A few days before the shoot, a pilot had met with an accident and Dimple was very scared to do the shoot. She informed Sunny, and out of concern, Sunny came and met me. I assured Sunny that she would be safe, and that’s when I started talking to him.
