/>Dancing Diva Hema Malini practiced her skilled twinkle toes for Pradeep Sarkar's Laga Chunari Mein Daag that was shot in Varanasi under tight security arrangements.

Hema made a very special appearance in the film. "And only for Yashraj Films. I did a special appearance for Yashraj Films' Veer-Zara. I've worked many times with them. When I was asked to do this film I did it without a second thought.

Though I've gone to Varanasi many times for dance performances the last time I was there for a film was Sohanlal Kanwar's Sanyasi more than thirty years ago."

Hema Malini performed a Mujra and lip-sync to a Thumri sung by Vishal Bharadwaj's talented wife Rekha. "I love the song. And the dance was kathak based. That really made me happy.

The last time I performed a solo dance on screen was for Gulzar's Lekin. That was another special appearance for another beautiful Mujra Jhoote naina bole. I really enjoyed that."

For Hema dancing is her life. "When I perform the Krishna ballad I am at the crest of my happiness. Krishna ka aadesh hai iss bhakt ke liye. Unfortunately now I have to divide my time among three disciplines: politics, acting and dancing.

In fact I've never been busier in my life. I'm enjoying this phase in my life," Hema sounds happy. "My daughters are busy with their own thing. And I've the time to do what I want."

She loved the dance in Pradeep Sarkar's film because it's based on classical elements. "It's not often that one gets a chance to do something classical based in our films these days. That's why I agreed to do it. They told me no on except me could perform the Mujra. But I think Rekha would've been a better choice."
