Hema Malini Makes A Plea For Senior Actor Says, 'If An Actor Over 65 Is Fit And Willing, Should Be Allowed To Shoot'

Yesteryear actress Hema Malini is not quite happy with the decision of the government that actors above the age of 65 are not being allowed to shoot during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier, the veteran actress wrote to Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla to initiate a change in the government resolution which states no cast or crew above the age of 65 should be allowed on the sets.

Hema in an interaction with Bombay Times made it very clear that an actor who is fit should not be stopped from working. She has been quoted as saying, “If an actor, who is over 65 years of age, is fit and willing to work, they should be allowed to do so. Why should they not be allowed to shoot on the set? Actors can’t sit at home and do nothing. There are so many TV shows that have roles essayed by senior actors. So, they should be allowed on the sets.”
