What would you call a senior performer like Hema Malini`s decision to back out of a commitment at the eleventh hour? Unprofessional behaviour, what else? The lady, who still has the industry eating out of her hands thanks to her reputation and stunning deportment, doesn`t think so.

"They hadn`t informed me about their decision to include starlet Isha Koppikar on the show. How could they expect me to share the stage with her?" she snarled.The `gracious` lady perhaps suffered amnesia that not only her elder daughter Esha but the younger Aahana are already in the glamour business despite a rigorous training by mama Malini in two classical dance forms, Oddissi and Bharat Natyam.

And didn`t she herself do numerous filmi jigs which may not have been close to Ms. Koppikar`s smouldering act but were hot enough to sizzle the screen? Do you remember you too have a Charas, a Naseeb and a Dream Girl and and even a Chhupa Rustom or a Kranti to your long list of films?
