  "account": "Hema Malini, the renowned actress from the Indian film industry, has remained largely out of the spotlight in recent times. In an interview with The Times of India, the 77-year-old actress revealed her ongoing struggle to come to terms with the loss of her husband, Dharmendra. Despite the rumors and speculation surrounding her relationship with the Deol family, Hema emphasized that they are a \"very happy family\" and urged people not to believe everything they read online. Dharmendra, her biggest strength and support, had always encouraged her to continue dancing, telling her \"Go ahead, don't stop. Continue with your dance.\" Hema Malini fondly remembers her late husband, stating that his memories are enough for her to lead her life, and she is living with them.",
