00:00Have you taught your sons the same thing?
00:02True?
00:03Your sons also.
00:04Sunny and Bobby.
00:05Have you taught them the same thing?
00:07Nobody teach you.
00:09It comes directly into your genes.
00:11Bobby does it.
00:13Sunny is very introvert.
00:15Sunny is so painfully introvert.
00:17I tell him something.
00:19He is very emotional.
00:21But he will not say why this moisture is in your eyes.
00:27Even Jayar Ji didn't have coffee with Karan, right?
00:31Have you seen it?
00:32No.
00:33So, she said, who is the…
00:37I wanted to play Basanti because Dharmajandar was there.
00:41That Greek god and this and that.
00:44Then they asked, who is the sexy man?
00:46Then she made a noise.
00:48Sexy men, sexy?
00:49And it doesn't sound very idiotic to me.
00:52To me, girls, ladies are sexy.
00:54Men, sexy.
00:55Holy yes.
00:56Dhamindra N70 was a sexy man.
00:58When I have left drinking, I feel I can enjoy more than what I used to do.
01:05To Ise, it felt like if we drank from our own drink, we left it.
01:09We left it from our own.
01:11We left it from our own.
01:12And when we left it, I know that when we are alone in ourselves,
01:17We left it from our own.
01:18So, I feel that it's the biggest strength which I was covering with the artificial things and all that.
01:25Getting here and really sitting with Dalit Mohan.
01:28We left it from our own.
01:29So, I was talking about food, this, this, this, this, this.
01:34So, I was talking about 60.
01:36So, it was cold in Bali Hill.
01:38So, he gave me one small stutter.
01:40So, he said, now I will have a panel.
01:43So, I don't have a panel.
01:44So, I don't have a panel.
01:45So, I don't have a panel.
01:46So, I don't have a panel.
01:47I don't have a panel.
01:48I don't have a panel.
01:49I don't have a panel.
01:50I want to keep it.
01:53Your relationship with Nehma has lasted for a very long time.
01:57Nehma will never born again on the earth.
02:13Come back to films with a big bun.
02:18Last year, we had three films.
02:20Three really nice films.
02:22Johnny Gardar.
02:23You had Akne, Akne and Matri.
02:26It was wonderful seeing you.
02:28Three different variety of films.
02:30I am happy that you two is telling.
02:33You are very happy.
02:34I am very happy.
02:35You are very happy.
02:36You are very happy.
02:37You are very happy.
02:38You are very happy.
02:39You are very happy.
02:40You are very happy.
02:41You are very happy.
02:42I was dying to be because that fire which was was in me in the beginning before getting into film, you know.
02:52And film is my breath used to pray to be in films.
02:57I was so dying.
02:59So, imagine that person when I was away for five, seven years.
03:04It was very painful for me.
03:06I don't know why it's always, you know, it's the destiny I think.
03:09Ultimately, we have to say it's a destiny.
03:11But I am very happy people have the same kind of love, affection for me and that is the most important thing.
03:19I think it's a human nature to be loved, to be liked, to be admired.
03:23It's even you and Bharti, everybody.
03:26So, there is no place like film industry.
03:31Here you can do anything that you can command love, affection and everything.
03:37So, because people have given me same respect, same love, same affection.
03:45So, it's good when I hear from anybody.
03:48It feeds my soul and my mind and of course that body also get better.
03:57I am so happy that people have taken me with.
04:02And matters were good.
04:04Apne, family, it was again on sports.
04:10Yeah.
04:11But you brought films.
04:14So, now I will be doing films.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Was it difficult coming back?
04:19It's not a big name.
04:20It's not a point.
04:21It's not a point.
04:22It's not a point.
04:23It's not a point actually.
04:24No, it was.
04:25It was just that.
04:26You see, suddenly there is a big change in industry.
04:28Different kind of film started.
04:30Yeah.
04:31But at least youngsters, they came and they banged and it is always like that.
04:38I think after every two, three decades, new crop does come.
04:45It's about to come.
04:48So, there were no scripts for me at this age, whatever I am.
04:54To me, I never feel I am growing very old, old.
04:58Like you never do.
04:59Young at heart.
05:03So, one should remain young at heart always.
05:07So, we are working on a good script.
05:10Vijayita Films has started making films.
05:15So, we are in search of some such scripts where I can do them.
05:21Okay.
05:22And we are getting few scripts.
05:25I am sure, again, I will be able to carry on this responsibility to, what I said, it's a human nature to be loved, to be loved, to be liked, to be admired.
05:39So, I will be able to fulfil that responsibility to get that and to achieve well.
05:45Did you find it a little difficult physically to match up to what you were at one time?
05:53At one time?
05:54Well, you see.
05:55After that, I am finished.
05:56I lost two months back.
05:57I was riding at my farmhouse.
05:59Oh?
06:00Yeah.
06:01It doesn't mean, but age does affect you.
06:05It's bound to.
06:06Yeah.
06:07It's not that I am that agile or running around and all that.
06:11But if the spirit is there, you overcome it.
06:15Right.
06:16And I know what I can do now and what I should do and what I should not do.
06:20Hmm.
06:21Hmm.
06:22Jo risk aap pehle lete te te?
06:23Haan.
06:24Wo shayad aap nahi karpa hai ga ap karinjabhi.
06:25Haan.
06:26Aha.
06:27Ya.
06:28I mean, pehle do thara thara foot se jam kar jatata da kahi jake people.
06:31Exactly.
06:32But that heart, that bhai ke bhai ka heart is tindopi e.
06:35Anit.
06:36Haan.
06:38Haan, wo to rahayayayabi.
06:40That is, I think, is, the credit goes to my parents.
06:44Maa wapke ihsan humaik.
06:46What is in my genes.
06:49I am proud of that.
06:51The culture to give respect to others too.
06:55You see, one thing I am very blessed because I don't want to see anybody get hurt from me anytime, anywhere.
07:03So, I feel like giving respect, love and to everyone.
07:08I never see who is big, who is small.
07:11There is no such thing in my mind to me a human being is a human being.
07:14Okay.
07:15O, jyobi tar rahe hai, o, beikhejada buli hai yaa baha bada he hai.
07:19Sometime I may go close to buli more because I know his feelings very well.
07:26I may not go close to a beginner seolest.
07:29Yeah.
07:30Because I don't know what he is inside.
07:34Yeah.
07:35I admit it, there are differences, differences over thing you know.
07:38That's it.
07:38You feel thinking and everything, it changes.
07:40Yeah.
07:41So...
07:42Haram Jai, apart from genes of, you know, what else do you do, because you,
07:48that's what, but you and the good health go together.
07:52Yeah, that, you know, probably.
07:54What else would you reckon, what else do you do, and what do you reckon you have to do?
07:59Till 90, 94, I continued doing even, till 90 I did do two shifts, what's the world.
08:12And I, I am extremist in many things, my love, affection, this, that, my booze come in it, drinks.
08:22I used to drink heavily, but gradually I have realized it, it doesn't go with me.
08:28If you want to look same, if you want to keep your strength, your thinking, your, because it does effect, it's the worst thing.
08:36Today, sometime I feel if, I wish, I have not touched it.
08:39Okay.
08:40Imagine if I have not touched it, I would have been a different Dramindas.
08:43I would have concentrated much more in a much better way, which I couldn't, I was just flying.
08:50But, of course, without harming anybody, I enjoyed my life.
08:54And, but, there, now, when I have left drinking, I feel, I can enjoy more than what I used to do.
09:03So, I felt like drinking, when I have drank and I have into my own home, leaving me alone, leaving me alone, leaving me alone.
09:11But, I know I am losing my own.
09:13And, when I left, I know, and when I am alone, when I have come in my own, I feel, that the biggest strength, which I was covering with artificial things and all that.
09:278 year old.
09:288 year old.
09:29How did you touch me?
09:30No.
09:31I don't touch.
09:32Oh, I meant to me that you gave up a lot of coffee.
09:36No, that was before the doctor, before the doctor was left.
09:39Six months, one month.
09:40He had the papers, the dhrimendra stove again on the booze wagon again on drinking, tea and
09:47this and that.
09:48That went on.
09:50But now, Tadda was there in Assam and where we...
09:53No, you don't, no, I don't.
09:56When I left, when I was going to LA, I said to Bhimandar, you will not touch it in that plane
10:03and you are not going to drink from all day to... this is a test to LA.
10:08In that plane I said, no, will help.
10:11I want to become an actor. Why can't you be without drinks?
10:19And God helped those who help himself.
10:22It's my destiny, I am an actor.
10:27But the effort in my breath, he said, you will be an actor.
10:36So I was honest in my approach.
10:40Even the first car I bought, I was...
10:44After reaching out, I understood the film industry, how this carrier...
10:48In Punjab, I thought, it is easy, I will go and my people will select me.
10:53And I will definitely be this, this, this, this.
10:55But when you get into it, you realize, what kind of...
10:59I never knew, that they won't be meeting each other.
11:03When I went from Punjab, I went from Punjab.
11:06I thought, we must be Dilip Maharaj Kapoor.
11:08They must be playing badminton. They must be sitting talking.
11:11Nuthan must be coming, Waheeda and all that.
11:14There must be great rapport and...
11:17The affection they gave all the screen.
11:19I was thinking, people of affection, love, emotion and...
11:23They were, must be living so beautifully together.
11:26Yeah.
11:27So I thought, I will go and...
11:29I will go and meet Nuthan and have my food there and this, like that.
11:33So many...I was dreaming a...
11:35Yes.
11:36Boy from village...
11:37Mm.
11:38Abhi to ho, khat, zamanah badal gaya, channels ke jadi-e, pata lag gaya, abu sab kya hai.
11:42Tab to ho, actor ke baare ho, kis pate nahi tha.
11:44They were such a...beautiful hidden identities.
11:48Oh, how they are.
11:50Mm.
11:51I thought, ahag to ho, some malho-e, kya karethein, kya ne kare.
11:54So, I used to feel that they will never get old.
11:58I don't know what kind of thinking it must be different than others.
12:01I thought that Dilip Mahar, Devana Rajgur will ever remain like this only.
12:05Surayya Madhubala will be always this.
12:08But no, reaching age double. But I was so...
12:11You can say innocent are my feelings about them.
12:14I was thinking of them as different human beings.
12:16No, we didn't think of them as human beings actually.
12:18Human beings, some...
12:20What is this?
12:22I was thinking of it as a journey.
12:25How to get into it?
12:27Oh my God, they are so beautiful with each other when they meet in the party.
12:32Oh, I said, love lost all.
12:35Lost brothers are meeting.
12:37But then some corner, some whispering I used to hear.
12:40Talking against something.
12:42Rajinder Kumar said to Rajinder Kumar.
12:46Oh my God, what is this?
12:49I never knew.
12:50And it's totally different picture over here where I used to dream about it.
12:55I go with the same, I am the same Dharma Inder.
12:59If I go, but now I get scared.
13:01Will I get it back or not?
13:03Will you talk to somebody?
13:05If I don't get my emotion, at least a quarter of it,
13:10I'll be...
13:12I think that my self-respect should be reached.
13:15Hmm.
13:16Reaching here, I am telling you.
13:18I came and Bandhani...
13:20I was shooting.
13:21Dilip Sahib, why?
13:23And he was having food with Mimulda and all that.
13:25I was down there.
13:26I wanted dying to hug him.
13:28But then I thought that I didn't get anything.
13:31If he...
13:32Just so much.
13:33I kept quiet and never came up.
13:36He saw me, the boy has come and gone.
13:39Then I was in that room.
13:41Then, a few days later, I went to LP and they called me some photographs.
13:45Filmfare to their office only.
13:47Hmm.
13:48So, they want to do some make-up.
13:49Why you want to give me make-up?
13:50No, no.
13:51Transparency.
13:52And one girl did it little bit here.
13:56She was Farida, Dilip Sahib's sister.
13:59And Raul Alpira told me,
14:01You know who that girl is?
14:02You know who?
14:03Dilip Sahib's sister.
14:04I said, Farida, please, I want to see your brother.
14:08I'm his greatest fan and this and that.
14:10And he said,
14:12Oh, she appreciated them.
14:13They were all talking good about me.
14:15Okay, this face is this and
14:17One of the things that I have heard,
14:20which I never take to my head.
14:22So, he'll make this.
14:24He's going to rise and this.
14:26So, I knew that.
14:27So, I didn't get to know that.
14:29Then we sat for
14:31till 1.30 midnight.
14:33In the beginning, a newcomer
14:35talking to a king of...
14:37Aryana Sir, you were talking about
14:40how you spent a long time talking to Dilip Kumar.
14:42Yeah, yeah.
14:43No?
14:44So, you met him and your husband?
14:46No.
14:47He...
14:48What I felt about him,
14:50exactly he had...
14:52I think he was quite an emotional person.
14:54He was talking about his past
14:57and how he went to Puna
14:59and how he...
15:01He went to the house and he went to the house
15:03and he...
15:04He was...
15:05He was talking about his...
15:06He was talking about his...
15:07He knows me since long and...
15:08To me, I was...
15:09getting...
15:10Yeah, I'm really sitting with Dilip Kumar.
15:11Mm-hmm.
15:12Mm-hmm.
15:13Mm-hmm.
15:14So, he was talking about his...
15:15He was talking about his...
15:16He knows me since long and...
15:17To me, I was...
15:18Getting...
15:19Yeah, I'm really sitting with Dilip Kumar.
15:20Mm-hmm.
15:21Mm-hmm.
15:21So, I, I was...
15:22To me, I was...
15:23Getting...
15:24He...
15:25Then, I was...
15:26Being...
15:27How much money came from?
15:28Yeah, I was...
15:29And they came from...
15:30So, he used to help.
15:31I'm talking about sixty.
15:32Mm-hmm.
15:33So, it turned out,
15:34It was cold.
15:35I was...
15:36Tundak.
15:37So, he gave me one small sweater.
15:38Yeah, yeah.
15:39So, he gave me one small sweater.
15:40He gave me one small sweater.
15:41He gave me one small sweater.
15:42And, I was able to...
15:43So, my teeth had cried...
15:44And, I said...
15:45I said...
15:46I said...
15:47I said...
15:48You said...
15:49I want to keep it.
15:52And then I was shooting with him for Saira.
15:56She was making some serial.
16:00So she wanted me to do one and he was directing.
16:03I said, I have a sweater.
16:07I just kept it with me.
16:10Yes, I had two bags.
16:12First, I took one and you took one.
16:15I also remember that he has a very good sweater, a nice wool.
16:22So I said, he must have a bird too.
16:24So a gnashar took the other one and took the other one.
16:27And he said, he was talking to me.
16:28I thought, I remember Dhrinder.
16:30I remember Dhrinder.
16:32Yesterday, I was wearing a shirt, pink.
16:34So what did he say?
16:36He said, you are good.
16:39I said, I told Bobby.
16:41Bobby said, you are good.
16:43You are good.
16:46You are good.
16:47My clothes are brown.
16:49So I said to the office in the evening,
16:51said, Sonny said,
16:52So Bobby also killed Sonny.
16:54Sonny said.
16:56What did he say?
16:59He said, he has to put a robe on it.
17:00He puts the robe on it.
17:02And then he puts it.
17:04That's why he doesn't be allowed.
17:06So, you were wearing sangees which Bobby had clicked from him?
17:11Bobby, he clicked.
17:14And what happened?
17:15Yeah, it was almost the same structure.
17:20So, where did the sweater come from?
17:23But when you came, what you have described as of a person totally innocent, totally oblivious about the film industry.
17:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:32He had not, didn't know anything but at least 40, 50 years.
17:36Hasn't it completely changed?
17:38I mean, Diol, Dhadminder has become a brand and Diol family has become a brand.
17:44You see.
17:45And that's thanks to one person.
17:47That is thanks to one person.
17:49You have cut it off.
17:50Yeah, naturally, it's, I give it to the God.
17:54You see, there is no one thing you never knew, which is the spirit.
17:58Your temperament, what is your, what you call it in English?
18:02Yeah.
18:04Basic human nature.
18:05Yeah.
18:06Which you are given, everybody is a different nature.
18:09So, what I want to say is that God has given such a thing and I am most blessed because it brings anybody close to me and I go close to everybody.
18:20Yeah.
18:20Yeah.
18:21So, even today I feel something, I really came to Bombay.
18:33I became an actor.
18:35Now, I'm going to forget, I'm going to say, no, no, I'm going to be an actor.
18:38Where am I going to be an actor?
18:39In one chapter, it's completely closed.
18:41It's completely wiped.
18:43From my memory, it's completely wiped.
18:45I feel like I'm still on the world.
18:49I'm roaming on those streets and still dreaming to be an actor.
18:52Then I have to become an actor.
18:54I feel like the same passion, the same fire is still there.
19:00But the moment you step out of your gate, you know, you are Dhanminder, not the boy.
19:05You definitely come to know.
19:07Yeah.
19:07But what is it for me?
19:09If someone's regretting me, I will raise my hand.
19:13If someone's regretting me, I will raise my hand.
19:16That is my nature.
19:18And you must be knowing me, you know me since ages.
19:20If someone's regretting me, I will go like this.
19:24You've also seen it.
19:25I will get up and get up and get up.
19:26If someone's gone, I will take my daughter's blood.
19:30That is my nature.
19:32I came out of my car, I hugged the forehead and gave.
19:35Why not?
19:36But you always feel like that.
19:37This is, one should be.
19:38Always one more.
19:40So that is my human nature.
19:41I cannot change.
19:42And that is my biggest plus point.
19:45Blessing, I tell you.
19:46I don't have a small, small or small.
19:49But today, I mean, now some stars talk about it.
19:52I was the only one who was a synagogue.
19:58I know they have a lot.
20:00I am very lucky that all these youngsters, they have same love, respect for me.
20:04I mean, Shah Rukh ho, Aamir ho, Salman ho, he is sometimes, he says, I am like Dharmendra ji,
20:11I am in my end of Govinda.
20:13Many people.
20:14So, this is very small.
20:15So, this is very small.
20:16So, I have been told that today's Lot BFI, they have that genuine, no drama was not.
20:22So, I told him that those who are in every age, we are in their hearts.
20:29So, Dilip Sahib said that we are in their hearts.
20:37So, he told me that Dilip Sahib said that when I saw it, why did I not make this?
20:47He said that film fair functioned to a pool and set up front out. So, this here compliment is the biggest thing.
20:54That's how when all they were sitting in Caesar Palace in English,
21:00so I said who is the handsome person?
21:04So, he said my husband is not here. I said Dhrminder is the handsome person.
21:10So, these commands when I get, it doesn't make me, I go like this.
21:17You know, Jayai Ji knows coffee with Karan. Have you seen it?
21:23No. I saw it.
21:25They talked about it, no?
21:26No, coffee with Karan.
21:28Hema did it together.
21:30So, she asked me, who is the...
21:35I wanted to play Basanti because Dhrminder was the Greek god and this and that.
21:42Then they asked who is the sexy man.
21:44Then she made a noise, sexy, men sexy?
21:47And it doesn't sound very idiotic to me.
21:50To me, girls, ladies are sexy, men sexy.
21:53Only yes, Dhrminder N70 was a sexy woman.
21:58So, such thing, it doesn't go to...
22:01I feel, I madei dil mein us ke lihi us se kahin zyada izzat pihar pad gaya, Jayai Ji ke lihi bi, Dilip sahab ke lihi bi.
22:08In the same way, Shah Rukh, in one long 10-15 minute speech, she said,
22:13he is the character, he is this, he is a nightmare to generalist also, this, this.
22:18Taafi kuch bol gaya, he is...
22:20So, all these boys, chahe ho koi bhi hai, this will be good about me.
22:25I think this is my real earning.
22:27Money comes, it goes, it will never...
22:30It stays everywhere.
22:31Every...
22:32Eek high tide, low tide, aati rehti hai.
22:34Toh, I...
22:35Toh, I...
22:36I...
22:37I...
22:38I...
22:39High tide mein bhi, I swim karta raha hon, low tide mein bhi.
22:40And abhi aage bhi chalta raha hon, aisa kuch nahi hai.
22:42Okay.
22:43Okay.
22:44So...
22:45Dharanshi toh aak le kaha ki aap...
22:47You get...
22:48You know, agar koi miskarata hai toh aap paath...
22:50Dharadette hai koi.
22:51Have you taught your sons the song toh?
22:53Toh?
22:54Yes, sons also.
22:55Sonny and Bobby.
22:56Have you taught them the same thing ki...
22:58One may.
22:59Nobody teach you.
23:01It comes directly into your genes.
23:03Okay.
23:04Bobby does it.
23:05Sonny is very introvert.
23:06Sonny is so intro...
23:08Painfully introvert.
23:09I usko bol toh, yaar kuch bol.
23:11He is very emotional.
23:12Usi baite baite aankho mein aansu aajayenge.
23:15It will be...
23:16But he will not say why this moisture in his eyes.
23:20He...
23:21This is human nature.
23:22Sonny has totally different.
23:24Bobby has different too.
23:25But in the genes, they look after the dvende.
23:28Pata laga hon koi bimaar taa.
23:30Usko paise de diye.
23:31Isko de diye.
23:32Ye kar diya.
23:33Dukhi ho jate hai.
23:34Us aav it came to us from my mother.
23:37He was a very great lady.
23:40My father was a teacher.
23:43And we are farmer.
23:44We have some small land.
23:45Toh my nana was in Jhansi.
23:48Post office.
23:49Unnhunne apne kutte ka naam Irvan rakha hua tha.
23:52An anti-wittish.
23:54An anti-wittish.

23:57My mother and my maasi used to go and...

24:05Toh he was...
24:07Usko retaire.

24:12I was in six.
24:14Eighth mein jakei partition hoa hai.
24:15She gave me khadi.
24:16Kurta khadi.
24:17Pajama, taranga and I went in the jalouse.

24:28And I got very apshani ji ki, yaar kya ho ga ga ga na,
24:31I mean dadai kya ho ga hi? Because of this khadi and all that.
24:35So, it's not my father was right at his place.
24:39So what's your mother? What I am is today because of mother.
24:41And mothers give lot and lot to the children.
24:45I am happy that it is in everybody. Some may remain with respect.
25:00But they have learned that I could not do it for someone.
25:03I signed the picture in the picture.
25:06Which, after signing the picture, I would keep in touch with the picture.
25:11And I didn't get the price.
25:14You know we can't give it, not give it.
25:15You can't give it, you can't give it.
25:16You can't give it.
25:17And I thought you can't give it.
25:19I am happy.
25:20So, they have said, you know,
25:21you can't give it all.
25:22You can't give it all.
25:23My price won't give it.
25:24It's a fact.
25:25And I was, best, I mean,
25:27best, I mean,
25:28I can't take a step for 70,
25:30and, from the end of the year,
25:33I could have asked for any money.
25:36But I didn't have a long time.
25:39Even today, today's generation, they know how to hide their price.
25:47Bobby doesn't come, he doesn't come.
25:50Sunny doesn't come.
25:52People who are afraid of their pride,
25:54they give their children to our community.
25:56It has happened to me.
25:58It has happened to eat on the road,
25:59to sleep on the road,

27:35which is very much used in film industry.
27:37It's common.
27:38His comeback is going away.
27:41It's a farewell party.
27:43But,
27:44there is no permanent life.
27:45It's not going to be permanent.
27:47It's,
27:48it's,
27:49it's best,
27:50I don't call it a profession,
27:51I call it my beloved.
27:53Okay.
27:54I said,
27:55it's my beloved.
27:56Okay.
27:57My beloved.
27:58He said,
27:59he's going to be a professional.
28:00I want to make that.
28:01I want to make that one.
28:02Absolutely,
28:03completely.
28:04This is a fact.
28:05I mean,
28:06love it.
28:07I call it my beloved.
28:08But,
28:09people say,
28:10he's a very professional.
28:11To me,
28:12not me,
28:13but,
28:14those who are professional,
28:15they are very successful.
28:16I wish,
28:17I would have called it,
28:18but,
28:19I still am proud that I call it my beloved.
28:21I am not a professional.
28:22It's,
28:23my professional,
28:24I don't understand the profession.
28:25He's insulted to call it a profession.
28:26person. But you have been very successful. No, I am, I am too.
28:31Yes, you know, brand, Beos, Ilfs, Science too. No, I mean, thank you to the God. But it's a great thing.
28:42You know, as a cat, we give dreams to everybody. We live life and life, life and life, life and one life. We live so many lives.
28:49We come across so many people. And without, as you said, religion, caste, creed, nothing.
28:59We tell people, this is, I wish we should be honest to each other. The day we started very honest and very true to each other, it will definitely be a Jannat.
29:10Yes, that's true. Yes.
29:12What is the experience of virtue?
29:16The first time I was working with Jannat, I went back to my Bandhani days.
29:22Okay.
29:23Because his way, his style, stock, his short taking, I don't remember Vimadha. And it is in the picture also.
29:33Okay. It gives you that feeling?
29:35No, that feeling.
29:36Okay. No, no, no. Harpal is just going on. Yeah. And did you, have you seen Jannat's work, earlier work?
29:44No, I have never heard. After working with him, I came to know he has many awards in national award and this and that.
29:50I have never met him. But when he came first time to narrate me the script and all that, it was very nice feeling.
29:59So, if I suggest that he comes to me and he also listens very nicely. So, it is mutual always. If we, because of my, I am in films for so many years. So, a few experiences, a few experiences.
30:17So, when I am in films for so many years, when I am in films for so many years, when I am in films for so many years.
30:23No, it doesn't matter.
30:25Always, heart can rule.
30:27That's true. That's true.
30:29That's true.
30:30That's true.
30:31Because people, when they are in films for so many years, they can fall into the mind.
30:37No.
30:38No.
30:39Once you have gone into the heart, you can fall into the heart.
30:44But it's a very nice feeling with Dadu. That's why I keep telling him that there is a new script.
30:49Yeah. Already on to it.
30:51But I don't, I always tell him, where, where, whom I like something, where. So, a feeling comes from the script.
30:57How did you like working in Calcutta?
31:00Oh, it was nice. You see, I go back to my, those days when I used to go and shoot for Mamta.
31:06Okay.
31:07Then I shot for Gurudar's film, Bahar and Filmyangi. It, I liked Calcutta very much. I don't know. Now, it, every city is changing.
31:17The smell of Calcutta is missing, it was missing this time.
31:21Okay.
31:22Because of, so, what was it? There was a grand hotel, behind the street, where was it?
31:30Chodangi.
31:31Chodangi.
31:32Yeah, Chodangi.
31:33Princess, Princess Street, right?
31:34So, that's where I went. I would go to the bar every night.
31:38So, that's where I went.
31:40Park Street.
31:41Park Street.
31:42Park Street.
31:43There was a Chinese restaurant that went there.
31:45Then I went to shoot for Abhidar's picture, Pranati Ghosh.
31:49Okay.
31:50Pari.
31:51Then I went to, that, Itcham Hoti Nadi, we shot there.
31:56Which on the border of Bangla Desh and all that.
32:00To Chagul thi Chagul.
32:02To Bhaagta, the Bangla Dialog Yad Kerleta.
32:05To Chagul aani rahi thi, Bachcha, Bakri ka Bachcha.
32:09So, this has been Brandy, my bag.
32:10I said, why don't I put it in a bag.
32:12It was a brandy bag.
32:13It was a product that I put it in the bag.
32:14He had to pick it in the bag.
32:15It was a product.
32:16It was a product.
32:17He had to do all these candles.
32:20Wow.
32:21Isn't it funny that in Harto, you have a, you start off by being almost an alcoholic and you are somebody who has now given up alcohol completely?
32:31of somebody who has now given up alcohol completely.
32:34Yeah, yeah.
32:34You know? So, you really had to act this time.
32:37I think if an alcoholic, when he leaves it, he knows the difference.
32:42I told him that P.K. Daru, P.K. was far away from him,
32:46left him and left him and left him.
32:50So, he is far away from him, he is in his own world.
32:53Ah, ah, ah.
32:54So, when I wake up, I don't know where I am.
32:58Then, he is a little girl.
33:00Yes, sir, Prabhu.
33:01And it was nice working with Tandralek Trippi, who is actually Sunny and Bobby's coaster.
33:07If I am Sunny and Bobby, I would have been in love with many youngs.
33:13There must be a great masala for you.
33:16The press gets a lot of masala.
33:18They are not like me.
33:22Very well.
33:23Now, there are headlines of your press.
33:25I would have given enough masala to the press.
33:35Masala to all of us, yes.
33:37That's right.
33:38Your sons, that meant you are not a catch-off.
33:40No, no, they are not.
33:41They are not.
33:42They are very, they are very, they are very, they respect and no except for that.
33:47But you have permanently been with Hema Ji now, for a very long time.
34:00It has lasted a long time.
34:02So, that was not like Dutkam.
34:04The other not like Dutkam.
34:05I mean, that has been very, your relationship with Hema Ji has lasted for a very long time.
34:10It, Hema will never born again on the earth.
34:13Another Hema.
34:14Another Hema.
34:15Another Hema.
34:18She is such a great person.
34:20She is the greatest.
34:23And you were fortunate she came into your life?
34:25Now, what is this?
34:27This is enough.
34:28It's a volume.
34:29It's a volume.
34:30That's very true.
34:31It's a volume.
34:33You can, where is it?
34:34How much is it?
34:34How much is it?
34:35How much is it?
34:36How much is it?
34:36Oh, she is great.
34:40Are you looking forward to Harkpal and many more such pearls?
34:44I am dying to be.
34:46I was joking when I get.
34:49You see, that's why I am in love with this profession.
34:55So, I have never given up the price.
34:56I have never given up the price.
34:59So, you can imagine how much I love to be in films than in money, than money.
35:04If I am in love with this profession,
35:06then this message will come quickly, quickly.
35:09I will run for money.
35:11I have first Fiat Khridi,
35:1420,000, 60,000.
35:16So, I was wondering if I am not going to film, then what will happen?
35:19But I will never go back.
35:21So, my brother, Ajit,
35:23He said,
35:24He is the standard.
35:26He is open.
35:28I will run the taxi and again fight the struggle for my career.
35:40This is my thinking.
35:42This is my thinking.
35:43Willpower.
35:44Willpower plus farsighted.
35:45Farsighted.
35:46Farsighted is that, I don't know from here.
35:48At any cost, I will not leave Bombay.
35:50Love and Simla, I have called me.
35:52Because as you run on the Marron Drive,
35:54I was staying in a five-star hotel at the cost of film fair.
35:58Half and half and half,
36:00one was a percentage.
36:02He was the director who was married.
36:05He was the director who was married.
36:09Then he made.
36:10Half and half and half.
36:12He used to look at me,
36:13I mean, he said to Mukherjee,
36:15I want Dharmendra for this love and Simla.
36:19I don't know, I was shy.
36:20I couldn't stand up to this, that,
36:23what they wanted in screen test.
36:26And I was rejected.
36:28My film had started,
36:29but then I was sitting outside in Toronto's temple and
36:32film all the way.
36:34Bahar.
36:34I was sitting there.
36:36So, in Ghusri Mukherjee,
36:39Mr. Dharmendra, don't be disheartened.
36:46Don't go back.
36:47You are born for Bombay to be an addict.
36:50Right?
36:51If you are rejected even.
36:53So,
36:54So, there was nothing.
36:57There was nothing.
36:59There was nothing.
37:09a
37:13new
