Veteran actor, Dharmendra, the ‘He Man’ of Bollywood, has been discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy hospital. His fans can breathe a sigh of relief amid fake death hoax reports of the actor. Dharmendra’s fame is not unknown to the world, and in the past, he spoke about never having received the Best Actor award. Do you know, Dharmendra once shared of how he used to stitch suits in anticipation of getting an award but he never received.
Dharmendra, while receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, revealed of stitching suits for 37 years to get recognition
Dharmendra comes from an era where he was called as the ‘He-Man’ of Bollywood and took the limelight for his comedy and romantic movies. When late actor, Dilip Kumar and his wife, Saira Banu, had given Dharmendra the Lifetime Achievement Award back in 1997 during the 42nd Filmfare Awards, Dharmendra made an interesting revelation. He shared of stitching suits yearly in anticipation of an award and revealed:
“37 saal hoh gaye. Mei har saal suit silwata tha, matching tie dhundta tha ki shayad mujhe yeh award mil jaye. Lekin nai mila. Kabhi nai mila. Maine 60’s mei Phool aur Patthar, Satyakam, Anupama ki, bahut saare golden jubliee hui lekin mujhe award nai mila.”
