The couple who taught us what true romance looks like on screen:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is the birthday of Bollywood’s most graceful and beautiful actress Sharmila Tagore (8 December). Whenever we talk about her career, her pairing with Rajesh Khanna is remembered, but to be honest, there is another superstar with whom her chemistry has created magical history. Yes, we are talking about our ‘He-Man’ Dharmendra.

In today’s times where couples keep changing, things were different in those old times. Sharmila ji’s delicacy and Dharmendra paaji’s innocent but powerful style… whenever these two came together, it was amazing at the box office. Let us today go back to that golden era with the help of some of his best films.

Not just romance, lived every emotion

The specialty of this pair was that they were not limited to just dancing around the tree.

• Light comedy: Who can forget the movie ‘Chupke Chupke’ (Chupke Chupke)She became Dharmendra in the guise of a driver and Sharmila, a Botany student. The innocence and laughter of that film still feels fresh today.
• Deep silence: If you have seen the movie ‘Anupama’ If you have seen it, then you would know how acting is done with eyes even without speaking much dialogue. In this film, both of them played very serious roles, which go straight to the heart.

treasure trove of classic films

Their pair gave us ‘Satyakam’ Also gave a film like, which Hrishikesh Mukherjee considers as his and Dharmendra as his best film. There was no glamor in this, but a fight of truth and principles. There itself, ‘My companion, my friend’ And ‘Husband’s younger brother’ Movies like this showed how well these two fit into every type of character.

Songs that are still on everyone’s lips

Watch his screen presence in songs like “Abhi bhi jikas nasha hai…” or “Kuch to log kahenge…” On one side, that dimpled smile of Sharmila ji and on the other side, that innocent look of Dharmendra. This was the time when films were watched with the family and the lyrics of the songs touched the soul.

Why is this pair special?

Sharmila Tagore was the epitome of modern ideas and glamour, while Dharmendra was the embodiment of patriotism and a down-to-earth person. When these two ‘opposites’ came together, no pair of today can compete with the magic that was created on screen.

So on this special day, why not take out some time from your busy life and watch an old classic film like ‘Chupke Chupke’ or ‘Yakeen’? Believe me, it will make your day!
