Dharmendra-a 'he man of hindi films.'.

1. For his debut film, Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960), he was offered a paltry sum of Rs 51 and a daily breakfast of tea and toast at a local restaurant.

2. In 1979 he converted to Islam, changed his name to Dilawar Khan, got married to actress Hema Malini, as his first wife, Prakash Kaur, refused to divorce him. In accordance with the Hindu Marriage Act it is illegal for a Hindu to get re-married when his first wife is still alive.

3. Remember the song ''mujhko is raat ki tanhai mein aawaz na do'' from the above film.

So Dharmendraji lives on in millions of hearts.
