Guess Who Called Dharmendra To Cheer Him Up?

On  Sunday,  fans friends  and admirers  of the iconic  Dharmendra  were  concerned when he  posted what seemed  to be  a despondent poem about mortality.Soon tweets about his health began to flood  the  internet.

 I  rang up  the affable actor to know  the truth. He was as gracious and affectionate as ever  .

Expressing his gratitude for  the  concern   Dharamji said, “It was just one of those vulnerable moments. The  past one year has  not been  kind to any of us. I’ve been  persuaded by my family to lock myself away  in  my farmhouse far away from the crowds. I spend my time  exercising, writing poems and listening to Lataji’s songs.”

Lataji  who is very fond of both Dharamji and his wife Hema Malini  rang him up  cheer  him up.

Said Dharamji happily, “In fact I  just spent  twenty minutes on the phone with her. Lataji is my jaan . Her songs are what  kept me going during the lockdown. Wohsakshaat Saraswati Maa hain(she is  Goddess Saraswati reincarnated) .We talk quite often. When she  called to ask why I was depressed my depression flew  out of  the window. ‘Depressed  hon aapke dushman,’ she told me. Her  affection  for me and mine for her is  unconditional. May God keep her healthy and  happy.”

 Speaking of the ‘depressed’ tweet  that depressed his fans  Dharamji says,  “I’ve a  poet’s sensitivity. I hurt easily.  You will be  surprised to know  how many films I’ve done  for emotional reasons and how many I quit for  the same  reason.For me  my relationships  are  far more important than my professionalism. I’d rather be known as a good human being than a good actor. Luckily,God has blessed  me  with  so  much goodwill from  everyone.Everywhere  I go I receive only  love from all. You are  speaking  to me  from far-off Patna. But I feel your  warm vibes every time we speak. My biggest  achievement is  the love I receive from everyone. Everything else  is temporary.’
