Madhuri Dixit remembers Dharmendra
While speaking to ANI, Madhuri Dixit expressed, “I think I have worked with him (Dharmendra) in one film; he was there… Such an amazing person. I have met him a couple of times, and he’s always been so gracious, so down-to-earth, so handsome. His favorite song for me was ‘Pal Pal Dil ke Paas Tum Rehti Ho’, and that fits so nicely for him also…action hero, comedy, romantic, everything. ‘Chupke Chupke’ was such a lovely movie. He always had that… (comic side). Remember that Basanti scene where he gets drunk? …Chakki peesing. He was amazing in that too.”
