[10] Dharmendra was born Dharam Singh Deol on 8 December 1935 turns 81 today. He is an acclaimed Bollywood actor😎 and more recently a politician (his wife Hema Malini is a politician as well). He is an MP representing the Bikaner constituency, and he’s a member of the BJP.
He is the real He-Man or Action👊👊 King of India. For three long decades he was the symbol of masculinity💪 in Bollywood. Be it fighting with the onscreen villains or romancing💏 with the beautiful actresses onscreen, ‘Greek-God’ Dharmendra did everything with much aplomb. He was a blend of raw masculinity and boyish👨charm; he was more than just a hunk.
He is 10 unknown fact about 'Garam-Dharam' Dharmendra:
1) In his youth, Dharmendra was such a big fan😆 of actress Suraiya that he walked miles to watch her film Dillagi , more than 40 times, knowing little then that later he would act in a film having the same title (Dillagi 1978) and his son’s Sunny and Bobby Deol (Dillagi 1999) as well, respectively.
2) Arjun Hingorani had signed Dharmendra for Dil Bhi Tera, Hum Bhi Tere (1960), his first film🎬 as hero for Rs 51 as signing amount and a daily breakfast that was to contain strictly of tea, two toasts and butter but no jam😮! Later on, Dharmendra was casted as the main villain in Rajendra Kumar starrer super-hit film Aayi Milan Ki Bela (1964). The villain overshadowed the hero in this film🎥 and it gave a major boost to Dharmendra's career.
3) He is the only actor who has worked with most number of directors and paired opposite most number of actresses in his career. The most with Hema Malini (33)👫
4) He is the only leading actor who had 11 films released twice in a year which were in 1973 and 1977🤓.
5) He has been nominated more than 6 times for ‘Best Actor Award🏆’ at Filmfare but never got one. He did eventually bag the ‘Best Film Producer for Ghayal’ in 1990 and the ‘Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award’ in 1997, respectively😌.
6) In 70's Dharmendra felt in a love😍😍 with Hema, a testimony of his love for Hema was seen on the sets of Sholay. Dharmendra used to pay Rs 20 to the light-boys to purposely disturb the couple when they would shoot for the scene where Dharmendra is teaching Hema Malini how to shoot with a revolver🔫. Apparently, Dharmendra spent Rs 2000 at that time just to keep hugging💑 Hema.
7) Sholay is one of Bollywood's iconic film🎥📽. In this movie, Dharmendra was keen to play the character of Thakur👳 Baldev Singh and he was told that Sanjeev Kumar would then play Veeru and get the girl (to be played by Hema Malini). Finally it was Dharmendra who got to romance Hema in the film. On the other hand, Hema Malini had no scenes🙅 with Thakur Baldev Singh played by Sanjeev Kumar as she had just turned down his marriage proposal👎 and didn't want to be anywhere near him🙎.
8) While Dharmendra has had two marriages👸👰, the actor is a father to half a dozen kids👶👶👶👶👶👶. Dharmendra has four kids from his first wife Prakash Kaur. While everyone knows that Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are his children from his first wife, he also has two daughters, Ajeeta and Vijeta. His daughters are married and settled in California, USA. These two daughters seem to have stayed away from all the glitz👱👧 and glamour of Bollywood. And with his second marriage to Hema Malini, Dharmendra has two daughters - Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
9) In 2012, he was honored the Padma Bhushan🎖, India’s third highest civilian honor by the Government of India.
10) Bollywood movies and its stars are very popular in Nigeria. The favorite stars are often given nicknames by the local people in their language (Hausa). Dharmendra is called Sarkin Karfi🕴, which means King of Strength in Hausa.
