It was reported earlier that the He-Man of Bollywood, Dharmendra, will be penning his autobiography in Urdu. Well, news is that, the veteran actor has started working on the book, which will narrate the journey of the star starting from his childhood to the present.
When we caught up with Dharam paaji in the capital, he said, "Malik ne itna pyaar diya hai ki bas man karta hai wohi pyaar mein logon mein baant ta rahoon. I'm writing the book for everyone who loves me. I want to tell my story to the people who look up to me for inspiration to point out that if I can do it, so can anyone else."
But why in Urdu? "That's because Urdu is a very beautiful language. Aur kyunki maine Urdu padhi hai, mujhe lagta hai ki jo main kehna chahta hoon, woh main iss bhasha mein bohot asani se sabko keh sakta hoon."
Speaking about what readers should expect from the book, Dharam paaji said, "I write when I get emotional. And I can analyse myself through my writings. Also through this whole process, I feel I am reliving my life - going through all those emotions, struggles, achievements and everything - all over again."
Recalling a few episodes, Dharamendra said, he fondly remembers the time when his daughter (from his first marriage) Vijeta was getting married. He said, "You know how houses are in Mumbai, there is always a space crunch. So, when my daughter was getting married, I had so many guests that I was finding it very difficult to accommodate each and every one of them. But then Yash Chopra came to the rescue. Yash and I are neighbours and we have a common wall between our lawns. So, during that time, Yash told me, 'let's break this wall, so that all your guests can move around and enjoy freely.' And we actually broke that wall and combined the lawns. This gesture of his touched my heart and it is one that I will never forget."
