"Today, all the heroines are above the Dream Girl tag. Each girl is so beautiful. They have made their name in such a big way, specially Aishwarya. I think I will give this tag to her. But not for free. She would have to buy it from me," joked the 62-year-old actress.
In 1977, Hema played the title role in "Dream Girl" opposite Dharmendra after which the scribes of that era started referring to her with the same sobriquet in their writeups.
