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

Published by Webster

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 …

Karwar: The Indian Navy on Wednesday inducted a traditionally built stitched ship as INSV Kaundinya, at a ceremony held at the strategically located Karwar naval base in Karnataka. It is a recreation of a fifth-century vessel and is named after Kaundinya, a legendary Indian mariner who sailed across the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, officials said. The ship serves as a tangible symbol of India’s long-standing traditions of maritime exploration, trade, and cultural exchange, and its induction and naming marks a culmination of an “extraordinary project” that celebrates India’s rich shipbuilding heritage, they said. #IndianNavy inducted the stitched sail vessel INSV Kaundinya at Karwar.The vessel is a recreation of a 5th century CE Ajanta painting using traditional methods.Hon’ble Minister of Culture Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat presided over the ceremony.@MinOfCultureGoI @gssjodhpur… pic.twitter.com/6sVRpesUzO — SpokespersonNavy (@indiannavy) May 21, 2025 “The Indian Navy formally inducted and named the stitched ship as Indian Naval Sailing Vessel (INSV) Kaundinya today at a ceremonial event held at the Karwar naval base.

Last Updated:April 29, 2025, 09:32 IST Two crucial public speeches by the RSS chief calling for a strong but measured response to the Pahalgam attack that aligned with India’s traditional values brought a fine balance RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat made it clear that while military options remained available, the country needed to ensure that any action was aligned with its core values. (PTI) One week after the devastating terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, popularly known as ‘Mini Switzerland’, the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath and the profound loss, while clamour over ‘action’ against Pakistan grows. The anger is so deep that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), seen as the key ideological pillar of India’s ruling political establishment, is now facing a significant internal conflict vis-à-vis its reaction to the tragedy. While a section within the organisation demanded immediate military retaliation against Pakistan, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat navigated the intense pressure with a more nuanced approach. With Ramayana, Mahabharat and a reference to the 1962 war, Bhagwat weaved a message that emphasised “wise retaliation” …

Ahmedabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said the consecration ceremony at the newly-built Ram temple in Ayodhya “stitched a deep wound” inflicted during the era of Mughal ruler Babur nearly 500 years ago. He was speaking at the ‘Punah Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony at the newly-renovated Ramji temple in Ranip area. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi did remarkable work by performing ‘Pran Pratishtha’ at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Devotees of Lord Ram across the world have been waiting for this moment for the last 500 years. They have been asking when Lord Ram will be shifted to a grand temple from that tent. This event has now stitched that deep wound which we got in our heart during Babur’s era,” said Mr Shah in his speech. Previous governments prior to 2014 were afraid of respecting the country’s culture, religion and languages, he claimed. “Aurangzeb destroyed the Kashi Vishwanath temple. After all these years, it was Modi …
