Recently, Hema wrote a letter to home secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla about a government directive as per which, actors older than 65 years will not be allowed to work due to the coronavirus pandemic. Citing the examples of Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher and herself, Hema has said in the letter that these senior artistes “will be restricted from completing their previous and recurring projects.”

She had also appealed to devotees to celebrate Guru Purnima on July 5 in their homes due to the Covid-19 pandemic. She, who is also a member of Parliament, advised people in her constituency of Mathura, to restrain themselves from performing the Goverdhan ‘parikrama’ (circumambulation).
