Dharmendra is Indian cinema’s living legend. Few would know that the popular He-Man of the 1970s is a poet too. He is also known as the “He-Man” of Indian cinema and is considered one of the most successful actors in the history of Indian cinema. While we know he’s married to the “Dream Girl” of Indian Cinema Hema Malini, and that Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are his star sons, and two daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol’s career in Bollywood, not many on social media are aware of the legendary Dharmendra’s immaculate poetic talents.


He regularly engages with his followers on social media and shares his thoughts in his poetic style:



Mere apne ho ..

Rooh se pyaar karte ho ...

Issi liye ...

shaid ....

dil shikni .....

suna baitha apni ....

Dosto ...

aap ke har jwaab ne 

dam ittna bhar diya hai

hausle mein mere...

aainda baat abb. ..... ...

jurrat o jaanbaazi ki ho gi


“It was my biggest dream to be an actor. Who does not wish to be a part of this industry? It is human nature to want to be loved and this is the only place where you get the maximum love. I did not come here for the fame, or for the money. I had watched Dilip Saab’s film Shaheed (1948), and it stuck to my heart. I just wondered how could I become a part of this world… I belonged to this world,” - Dharmendra
