Dharmendra is Double The Trouble@79
Actor Dharmendra turns 79 today
-
Garam Dharam, best-known for films such as Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, Phool Aur Paththar and Chupke Chupke, shows no signs of slowing down even as he turns 79. Dharmendra is still the life of the party at various Bollywood events and celebrations.
Here's a pictorial look at his journey as he turns a year older -
A string of flops hit Dharmendra with films such as Hathyar (1989), Batwara (1989), Farishtay (1991) and Tahalka (1992). 30 years after he debuted in 1960's Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere, it seemed as though it was time for Dharmendra to wind up. But he wasn't ready to stop just yet. He tried his luck and failed with a character role in Kshatriya (1993). A string of forgettable and forgotten films followed.

Dharmendra married Hema Malini in 1980. The romance raised eyebrows at the time but the couple finally married after converting to Islam so that Dharmendra did not have to divorce first wife Prakash. They had two daughters, Esha and Ahana, and Dharmendra still maintains two families.
