In this week’s Urdunama, we revisit Dharmendra, not just as Bollywood’s beloved “He-Man," but as a man shaped by two defining qualities embedded in the Urdu description of him: pur-kashish (irresistibly charming) and shaista-mizaaj (gracious in temperament).
Born in the quiet fields of Punjab, Dharam Singh Deol grew into the icon we now know simply as Dharmendra, a name that holds decades of cinematic history. His journey from a small-town dreamer to a towering figure in Hindi cinema is nothing short of remarkable. With over 300 films to his name, he crafted a career that spanned action, romance, drama, and comedy with an ease few could match.
His charm wasn’t loud; it was understated, confident, and magnetic in a way only pur-kashish can be. And his gentle nature, his shaista-mizaaj, made him not just admired but deeply loved by colleagues, audiences, and generations of fans.
Join us in this brief tribute to a star whose charisma outlived trends and whose gentleness left an imprint beyond the screen.
