While some credit him for introducing intensity and physicality to Indian films, some say he is the most charming actor of all time. But everyone agrees to the one common fact that he is one of the most loved and respected actors in the history of the Hindi film industry. Yes! We are talking about the 'He-Man' of the Indian cinema, Dharmendra, one of the few actors with zero haters. The legendary actor had enjoyed an illustrious career, and it still looks incredibly tough to pick someone who can be the heir to his unmatchable legacy.
The veteran actor has turned a year older today and on his special day, his actress-daughter, Esha Deol Takhtani, dropped a priceless video on her social media handle to wish him on his birthday. The video is from the younger days of the iconic actor and also featured a rare glimpse of Esha's childhood days.

In an interview with the Bombay Times, the heartthrob of the entire nation, when Dharmendra was asked why he never likes to celebrate his birthdays in a grand way, as we have always seen him celebrating his birthdays with his family members in a very low-key manner. Answering this, the iconic actor had given a heartbreaking reply as he had opened up about his mother. He had said:
"Maa bhagwan hoti hai. Jab khushi dene wali nahi rahi, toh kaise manau janam din? Bas rasme nibha leta hoon aur tanhai mein maa ko yaad karke ro leta hoon. Woh jab thi tab mere janam din par halwa banati thi."
