Veteran Bollywood legend Dharmendra, 89, who was discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Wednesday morning after reportedly being in a critical condition for a few days, continues to receive heartfelt wishes from fans across the country. While his family has confirmed that he is stable and recovering, social media has turned nostalgic as memorable interviews and unseen moments of the actor begin resurfacing.
One such moment from the sets of Dharam Veer has recently gone viral again, reminding fans of his humility and timeless charm.
The Dharam Veer Memory That Fans Are Sharing Again
In an interview with India TV conducted seven years ago, Dharmendra was asked how he became one of the early Bollywood heroes to confidently appear shirtless on screen. With characteristic modesty, he credited his well-built physique to family genes and a childhood shaped by hard physical work.
He fondly recalled his early routine:
“I was hardworking… working in the fields, riding a bicycle, and traveling long distances.”
According to him, his physique was not crafted in gyms but through daily labor, discipline, and a simple lifestyle.
Salman Khan’s Question and Dharmendra’s Unforgettable Response
Dharmendra also narrated a light-hearted and affectionate moment he once shared with Salman Khan, who has always admired him as a father figure and fitness inspiration.
Salman once jokingly asked him:
“Paaji, yeh thighs kaise bane?”
(How did you build these thighs, Paaji?)
Dharmendra replied with a smile that reflected both warmth and experience:
“Yeh toh ban gaye, bete… shayad phir aise na banein.”
(These were built long ago, son… perhaps they can never be built like this again.)
The moment, simple yet memorable, captured the bond between two generations of actors.
