Dharmendra: If not an actor, I would have been an athlete and would get a gold medal for India!

In my growing days, I used to look up to Dilipkumar Sahaab – Says Dharmendra on Entertainment Ki Raat@9

COLORS Entertainment ki Raat@9 Limited edition has been a laughter riot with its quirky tasks, witty set of hosts and B Town celebs who grace the show at their candid best.

In the upcoming episode, Bollywood Legend Dharmendra was extremely excited to be part of the show. He was seen looking dapper in black and grey attire that went well with his stylish hat. In a frank discussion with host Saumya Tandon, he said, “In my growing days, I used to look up to Dilipkumar Sahaab. I was in complete awe of his charisma and I think there can’t be anyone like him in this film industry.”

He further added saying, “I started my career with a photoshoot. I was horrible in studies and wanted to pursue modelling and acting but my father was totally against it. In those days, the film industry was not looked upon as a respectable career and he didn’t approve of it.”

When asked what profession would he pursue if he weren’t an actor, he said, “If not an actor, I would have been an athlete and would get a gold medal for India”.
