Dharmendra: “My Health Is A  Non-Issue”

The ever-affable  and genial Dharmendra is concerned  about the  unnecessary  concern for his health.

“I understand  it is their love for me that makes them so concerned  about my health. But I am absolutely fine.Haan, thodasa problem aa gaya ttha . I pulled  a muscle on my back while exercizing. But that’s  gone now. I am moving on, being  very careful about  my  physical  and mental  health,” says the  legendary star.

Dharamji leads a healthy life on his farm. “I have a healthy appetite.One should eat everything one  likes, but in moderate quantities.Enjoy life,but don’t  overdo anything. Luckily I have no trouble  sleeping. That  apart, there is not much that I crave  for at this stage  of my life.”

Speaking on his first film with Karan  Johar  Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, Dharmendra is all praise for his  producer-director, “Karan  is  a good  producer and a very capable director. He looks after all of us like a family.I’ve done films with Jaya(Bachchan) before.  She is still  the same.This is  my first film with Shabana (Azmi)  and she is a wonderful artiste. The kids Alia (Bhatt) and Ranveer(Singh)  are so talented. This new generation is so focused on their work.”
