Happy birthday: Hema Malini wishes Dharmendra

Mumbai, Dec 8 (IANS) It’s veteran actor Dharmendra’s 81st birthday and his best friend from Bollywood has a special message for him on his special day.
The two superstars of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, taught us the real meaning of friendship forty years back through Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay and it seems they have sworn by the film’s song Ye Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge even after several years of its release.
Amitabh Bachchan whom we dearly address as Jai whenever his name needs a mention with the ‘He-Man’ of Bollywood, Dharmendra (Veeru) has conveyed his birthday wishes to ‘dearest Dharam ji,’ by walking down the memory lane and sharing some beautiful moments of the two, including behind-the-scene pictures from Sholay. And believe us, the pictures are as magical as this duo.
Big B took to Twitter to post a number of snaps that showcases their deep bond over the last several decades and wrote alongside, “Birthday greetings to dearest Dharam ji .. love and affection !!”

The two celebrated actors have portrayed their on-screen bromance in Chupke Chupke as well. Veteran actor Hema Malini too wished her husband, actor Dharmendra, on his 81st birthday today.
The actress, who tied the knot with the Sholay star in 1979, recalled the lovely moments the two have spent together.
Hema shared a photograph of herself along with Dharmendra, with whom she has worked in films including “Sholay,” “Raja Jani,” “Seeta Aur Geeta,” “Sharafat,” “Naya Zamana,” “Patthar Aur Payal,” “Tum Haseen Main Jawaan,” “Jugnu,” “Dost,” and “Charas”.

“Recalling today the best years of my career, best and happy years of togetherness till date and the two lovely babies we have. Happy Birthday Dharamji!” Hema captioned the image.
The two tied the knot in 1979 and have two daughters — Esha and Ahana.
