Hema Malini's Chilling Night in a H

Hema Malini's Chilling Night in a Haunted Juhu Bungalow: "Someone Was Trying to Choke Me!" Imagine drifting off to sleep only to feel invisible hands tightening around your throat—every single night. That's the spine-tingling reality Bollywood's eternal **Dream Girl**, Hema Malini, endured in her early days in Mumbai.[1][2][3] Back in the late 1960s, as Hema Malini was just stepping into the spotlight with films like *Sapnon Ka Saudagar* (1968) and getting signed for *Abhinetri* by Subodh Mukerji, she and her family moved from a tiny flat in Bandra's Manavendra Apartments—where costume designer Bhanu Athaiya visited for trials—to a seemingly idyllic bungalow on 7th Road in Juhu.[1][2][4] Little did they know, it harbored dark secrets. Hema shared this harrowing tale in a 2018 Rediff interview, recounting how the house turned out to be **haunted**.[3][4]

"Every night I would feel someone was trying to **choke me**; I used to have difficulty breathing," Hema revealed. She slept beside her mother, who noticed her restlessness, but while her mom slumbered peacefully, Hema awoke in terror night after night.[1][2][3][4] "If this had happened only once or twice, we would have ignored it, but it happened **every night**," she added. The family couldn't take it anymore—they fled the bungalow and bought their own apartment, becoming neighbors with actor Biswajit Chatterjee. Hema even transformed the garage into her dance rehearsal hall, turning a fresh start into a creative haven where Dharmendra would later drop by for coffee—long before their love story unfolded.[3][4] This ghostly encounter adds a filmy twist to Hema's rise from a shy newcomer to a superstar in hits like *Sholay*. It leaves us wondering: real supernatural force or stress from her budding career? Whatever it was, it fueled her determination.[1] Have you ever experienced something spooky like this, or do you have a favorite Hema Malini memory? **Drop a comment below sharing your thoughts**, hit that share button to spook your friends, and subscribe for more Bollywood secrets!
