Hema Malini is recovering well from her injuries in a recent road accident, daughter Esha Deol said.
"She (Hema) is in recovery and she's getting well with all your blessings and good wishes. So let's give her a big hand for that," said Esha at the convocation ceremony of filmmaker Subhash Ghai's institute, to applause from the crowd.
Wishing her mother a quick recovery and a "healthy, happy life", Esha said: "I stand here today as a very proud daughter of a mother who is traditional yet unconventional. She is a woman of substance. She is someone who has lived life on her own terms. She is someone who is very pure of heart. And she is not superwoman. Pun intended. I hope you know what I mean."
She also praised Ghai, wishing she "could've been part of one movie with him".
