When Dharmendra admitted getting new suits stitched every year in anticipation of an award but never got one: ‘I lost all hope’ | Bollywood News

Dharmendra and his popularity are no secret to the world, but the veteran actor often spoke about how he was never given the ‘Best Actor’ award, despite his constant hard work. Dharmendra did a range of blockbusters and critically acclaimmed films, and his journey as an actor speaks volumes. From an era where the ‘He-Man’ of Bollywood took center stage to his timeless romantic and comedy roles,  Dharmendra was seen doing it all. Not many would know that the actor’s journey began in 1960 when he was signed for the film Dil Bhi Tera, Hum Bhi Tere as the lead, marking his debut as a hero for a meager Rs 51. Widely known as ‘Garam Dharam,’ Dharmendra actually became a star by the late 60s. But despite doing over 300 films, which included hits like Phool Aur Patthar, Sholay, Pratigya, Satyakam, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, and Chupke Chupke, Dharmendra received only one Filmfare award early in his career for Best Talent, followed by a lifetime achievement award much later. But Dharmendra has spoken candidly many …

It became a runaway hit that changed the career of its young director, 26-year-old Steven Spielberg, and shifted the scheduling of movies. “Before ‘Jaws,’ there wasn’t really a well-defined summer movie season,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior movie analyst at Comscore. “You could have big movies coming out at any time of the year, but there was never a season that encapsulated what young people wanted to do in the summer, which was go to the movie …
