Career

He was first noticed in a Filmfare spot-the-talent contest and came to Bombay to become an actor. He was signed by Arjun Hingorani for the film Dil Bhi Tera, Hum Bhi Tere (1960). He soon became a star and appeared in one hit after another. He starred as a romantic hero, then as a man of action. His greatest hit was perhaps the 1975 Sholay, in which he starred with Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh, in the eyes of many, stole the film. He went on to steal the Bollywood top spot from Dharmendra.

Dharmendra has continued making films all through the 1980s and 1990s, but with diminishing success. He has also branched out as a producer: he produced the film Barsaat (1995) as a vehicle for his son Bobby Deol's acting debut.

Dharmendra won the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to Indian Cinema over many years. While receiving the award from Dilip Kumar and his wife, Dharmendra grew emotional and remarked that he never received any Filmfare award in the "Best Actor" category despite having worked in so many successful films. He was glad that his contribution had finally been recognized.

Personal life

Dharmendra was a hosiery worker in Ludhiana City [State: Punjab (Country: India)] during his childhood. He usually came to hosiery everyday on his bicycle from Sanehwal (a nearby village in District Ludhiana). He has married twice. His first marriage was to Prakash. His second marriage was to Hema Malini, a popular Bollywood actress. His two sons by his first wife, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, are also successful actors. He has two daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, by Hema Malini.

He has recently become active in politics. He won a position as a Member of Parliament in the 2004 general elections, from Bikaner in Rajasthan, on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket.
