Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra said goodbye to the world on 24 November. He breathed his last at the age of 89. Dharmendra was not only a film actor, but also ruled the hearts of people with his special style and looks. His physique and fitness gave him a different position in Bollywood. This is the reason why he was called the ‘Heiman’ of Bollywood.

This was how my early life was
Dharmendra was born on 8 December 1935 in Nasrali village of Ludhiana district of Punjab. His real name was Dharmendra Kewal Krishna Deol. His father was Kewal Krishna and mother Satwant Kaur. Dharmendra’s childhood was spent in Sahnewal village. His father was the headmaster of a government school. He completed his studies from Punjab University. Even in his childhood, he had a desire to do something different.

Talent competition changed my whole life
Dharmendra participated in the New Talent Competition of Filmfare Magazine and became the winner. After this his steps turned towards Bollywood. Dharmendra entered Bollywood in 1960 with the film ‘Dil Bhi Mera Hum Bhi Tere’. Although this film was not successful at the box office, but after this he did films like ‘Shola Aur Shabnam’, which gave him recognition. Gradually he strengthened the foundation of his career. He gave many hit films like ‘Anpadh’, ‘Bandini’, ‘Aayi Milan Ki Bela’, ‘Haqeeqat’, ‘Phool Aur Patthar’, ‘Mamta’, ‘Anupama’, ‘Izzat’, ‘Aankhen’, ‘Shikhar’ and ‘Manjhali Didi’.

Peak stardom achieved in the 70s
Dharmendra got real stardom in the 70s. At this time, he left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience due to his looks and fitness. His tremendous stunts and strong body in action films earned him the title of ‘Heiman’. Along with him, Hema Malini’s pairing was also very much liked. Dharmendra and Hema gave hit films like ‘Sita Aur Geeta’, ‘Sholay’, ‘Raja Jani’, ‘Tum Haseen Main Jawan’ and ‘Patthar Ke Phool’. Dharmendra’s character of ‘Veeru’ is still alive in the hearts of people.

Be successful in every role
Dharmendra played many types of characters in his films. Action, romance, comedy and drama, he left his mark in every role. He always did his own stunts. Many times he also did action scenes with real animals. Dharmendra’s comedy films were also praised. Films like ‘Chupke Chupke’ and ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ proved to be a treasure trove of laughter for the audience.

Honored with many awards
He received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in the year 1997. In the year 2012, the Government of India honored him with ‘Padma Bhushan’. The film ‘Ghayal’ produced by him also received National Award and Filmfare Award. Dharmendra always did not consider films just as a means of earning money, he used to do it for his passion and love.

Dharmendra’s personal life
Dharmendra’s personal life was also like a film story. He married twice. His first marriage was with Prakash Kaur, with whom he has two sons Sunny and Bobby Deol and two daughters Ajita and Vijayta. In the year 1980, he married Hema Malini and has two daughters, Esha and Ahana. Dharmendra loved his family very much.

Everyone knows that Dharmendra was one of the powerful actors of Bollywood, but very few people know that he was also fond of writing poems.

Lata Mangeshkar also liked Dharmendra’s poems
In his special conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the late actor had mentioned that writing poems has become a hobby for him. He kept writing his emotions and his imagination on paper and gradually it became his passion and addiction. Even legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar liked Dharmendra’s poems.

Who has the rights to Dharmendra’s poems?
When Dharmendra was alive, he had also demonstrated his art in front of his family. At that time his children advised him that the actor should publish these poems. But every time Dharmendra told his children that there were still many lines which he wanted to add to his composition. Now after the death of the actor, his family will publish this collection of poems. According to reports, both Deol family and Hema Malini have the right to publish these works of Dharmendra.

But as soon as I reached home, I told my mother what my friends told me. I think that’s when my mother decided to tell me the truth.

Isha further said, ‘Imagine, we were in 4th class. We didn’t know anything about anything. Nowadays children are very smart. So at that time I understood that my mother had married a man who was already married and also had a family. However, I never felt bad. Even today I don’t think there was anything wrong in it. And I want to give credit to my parents that they never made me feel uncomfortable.

Isha also told, ‘When I was young, when I used to go to my friends’ house, I used to see both their parents together. So I understood that father’s passing is also normal. But somehow we grew up in such a way that all these things did not matter.

During Bigg Boss, I also danced with him on stage, but his fans were not given his last glimpse. He was not just a part of the Deol family. I agree that he was your father, we respect him, but before he was your father, he was the hero of the country, he was our hero.”

He further said that just like Sridevi and Rajesh Khanna were sent off with state honours, the same was not done with Dharmendra. Not even a single flower was planted in his memory.
