Rohini Hattangady Recalls Makeup Request to Play Dharmendra's Mother
Actor Rohini Hattangady, known for playing mother roles to stars older than herself, shared an amusing experience from the set of the 1990 film Humse Na Takrana. Though younger than Dharmendra, who played her son, she was asked to wear more makeup to appear older. She emphasized that her theatre training helped her embrace such roles without discomfort, focusing on the character rather than age differences. She also noted Amitabh Bachchan was comfortable with her playing his mother in other films.
