On his 88th birthday, veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra recalled his thoughts on working in Hollywood in a 2017 interview. He expressed that despite the allure of Hollywood, it never seemed worth it to him. Dharmendra emphasized the unmatched love he receives in India and stated, “You are the best in your home and your homeland with your people.” He believes that the love and appreciation one receives in their own country are unparalleled, and fame elsewhere may lead to getting lost. Dharmendra, known for his iconic roles in Indian cinema, has been part of numerous successful films spanning several decades.
