Dharmendra On Being A Grandfather All Over Again

It’s never too late to experience the joys of parenthood ,or grandparenthood.

So says Bollywood’s grand he-man Dharmendra whose elder daughter Esha  has just become a mother.

“It  feels wonderful  to hold that bundle of joy in my hands. Esha  has always been very close to my heart. Ahana(the younger daughter) was already a mother.Since she had a son Hema and I are happy  Esha has a daughter to complete the family.We would have been happy with either a  grandson  or  a granddaughter .We just wanted the baby  to be healthy,” says Dharamji with that innate shyness that makes him so endearing.

Would he be spending time with  the newest member of  the Deol family? “Of course! As much as possible. Now that I am  not working that much,I like to be around my children and grandchildren.I also like writing poetry and spending time on my farm,”

Any chances of  a memoir? That would be so  interesting!

“It may be interesting to the readers. But my life is not  for public display. I’ve to safeguard the feelings of all those who  love me.I am happy living my life rather than re-living it in writing,” says Dharamji

I couldn’t agree more.
