Dharmendra's unknown facts

Dharmendra

Dharmendra blushes when he is told by admiring women that he is still hot. "I don't know what they mean when they say I am hot," he laughs and naughtily touches his brow to see if he is running a fever. He confesses he is no exercise freak, nor is he a diet freak. The world also knows how he has been on and off hard drinks. It has everything to do with the mind, he says. "I am still eating the way I have been eating all these years, I don’t ever put myself through rigorous exercise routines. If there is anything I do seriously it is learning. I have been learning to read and write Urdu and I have been trying my hand at writing poetry. It is the mind that has to be kept occupied and exercised. You can't have a healthy body without a healthy mind and vice versa. I fill my mind with positive and constructive thoughts. I try to keep pace with what is new in the technology we use in cinema because it concerns the work I and my sons do. There is no boredom in my life.
