He told that my mother had written my first speech in Hindi.
First speech given for Vinod Khanna
The BJP MP told that he had given this speech in Gurdaspur for Vinod Khanna during the 1999 Lok Sabha election campaign.

Condition of contesting elections from Mathura
Hema Malini told that she contested the Lok Sabha elections in the years 2014, 2019 and 2024 and won all three times.
