Days after cracking a joke at the expense of his wife and BJP politician Hema Malini, veteran actor Dharmendra has apologised and said that he has been misunderstood and will never do such a thing again

Dharmendra apologises for cracking a joke at the expense of Hema Malini.

Asked if Hema had ever used a broom before she was seen posing with one during a cleanliness drive at Parliament in an awkward manner, Dharmendra had responded, “Yes (she has picked the broom) in films. Mujhe bhi anaari lag rahi thi. Maine magar bachpan mein apni maa ka hamesha haath bataya hai (she looked like a novice to me too. However, I would always help my mother during childhood with household chores. I was very efficient at sweeping with brooms.”

Hema Malini became a target for memes on social media after a video of her awkwardly trying to sweep outside Parliament as part of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan started doing rounds on the social media.
