Mathura: As her black Mercedes sports utility vehicle enters a narrow lane of Gokul, bouncers and spot boys dressed in all black climb the SUV’s side rail, one holding aloft an umbrella to save Hema Malini from the sun as she emerges from the sunroof.The 70-year-old film star, who is seeking re-election from the Uttar Pradesh constituency, never took off her sunglasses or stepped out of the SUV in Gokul or Mahawan, among other places, where she held a roadshow on Thursday.The umbrella firmly in place, she kept handing out saffron-coloured scarves while holding a giant lotus to signify the BJP’s symbol but had no conversation with locals except a brief address at a couple of points.Inside the SUV, she occupied the rear seat, checking her phone, sanitising her hands but rarely rolling down the window to speak to the people who thronged her car to catch a glimpse of the yesteryear ‘dream girl’. So much so that her staff did not turn her vehicle to the famous temple in Gokul despite repeated pleas by locals citing reverence for the temple.“Bade log, badi baatein, mandir bhi nahin gayin (She is a big shot, did not even visit the temple),” a local youth told ET, echoing the refrain among locals, as her SUV sped off. Some also complained of being pushed around by Malini’s bouncers when they sought to get close to her window.Malini tried to keep people involved by starting each of her short speeches with local religious chants -- “Radhe… bolo Nandlal ki jai”. She recounted a number of things she did for the constituency but said “five years are very less and I need more time”. Referring to a prepared note, she explained how she got sewer lines built in Gokul or got solar lights installed in Mahawan.But before long she switched themes to mention Narendra Modi and said the country can remain secure only under him. “To save and keep our country secure, we need a Prime Minister like Modiji,” she said in Mahawan. This seemed to make sense as many in Mathura said they would vote for Modi and not necessarily Malini since she was so “inaccessible”.Malini faces the RLD’s Kunwar Narendra Singh, who has been fielded as the candidate of the SPBSP-RLD alliance, and Mahesh Pathak of the Congress. Singh is a local Rajput for whom RLD chief Ajit Singh’s daughter-in-law and Jayant Chaudhary ’s wife is camping in Mathura and running a whirlwind campaign in villages.
