Dharmendra, who often shares throwback pictures of himself from his work diaries, posted a photo on Wednesday from his first meeting with his first-ever co-star Kamini Kaushal. Dharmendra, who made his debut with Arjun Hingorani's 1960 film Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere, shared in the caption that Kamini Kaushal was the co-star of his first film Shaheed, which released in 1948. Other than Kamini Kaushal, the film starred late stars Dilip Kumar, Leela Chitnis and Chandra Mohan in the lead roles. It was written and directed by Ramesh Sehgal. Sharing the black and white photo, Dharmendra wrote: "Pehli film Shaheed ki heroine Kamini Kaushal ke saath pehli mulaqat ki pehli tasvir...Donon ke chehron par muskurahat... ikk pyaar bhara introduction (My first meeting with the heroine of my first film Shaheed, Kamini Kaushal...there is smile on both our faces...an introduction filled with love)."
Dharmendra and Kamini Kaushal went on to co-star in Aadmi Aur Insaan, Khuda Kasam and Yakeen.
