Hema Malini To Take Action Against MLA For Derogatory Comments 

Mumbai: Actress and BJP MP Hema Malini would take action against Bacchu Kadu, an independent MLA from Maharashtra, for his derogatory comments on her. Kadu courted controversy last week with his comments over farmer suicides. "Hema Malini drinks everyday, but does she commit suicide?" he said, seeking to counter the claims that farmers commit suicide because of alcoholism.

"75 per cent MLAs, MPs, journalists drink... even Hema Malini drinks heavily... but have they committed suicide?" he asked.

Hema Malini drinks everyday, but does she commit suicide?

The actress at an event here on Friday night said, "Initially I decided to keep quiet about this man's antics, because I didn't want to give him publicity. But then everyone close to me thought it was wrong to let him get away with it. I will take action so that no one will do such a thing with me or any other celebrity again," she said.

The Lok Sabha member from Mathura, however, did not specify what action she intended to take against Kadu.
