From what I know the actress Hema Malini has only two daughters, unlike the prolifically propagating sow you describe. Also our Dream Girl, Hema, was the darling of so many fans and did not scare them away as your sow did to dogs. Read this entry at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hema_Malini "She has said in interviews that she would never wear revealing outfits in movies, and has been true to her words till date. It is said that after she had shot for a swimsuit scene in a movie early in her career, her mother was so upset that she promised never to repeat it. She exposed her navel in a low-waist saree for the first time only in 2006, after 30 years of her acting career." Cheers!
