Think
about
the
most
iconic
couples
in
Bollywood
and
the
list
will
be
incomplete
without
mentioning
Dharmendra
and
Hema
Malini.
The
legendary
couple,
who
has
been
a
hit
jodi
on
screen,
had
a
fairytale
love
story
which
continues
to
make
the
headlines
even
now.
According
to
media
reports,
Dharmendra
and
Hema
Malini
fell
in
love
while
shooting
for
their
1970
release
Tum
Haseen
Main
Jawan
and
ever
since
then
Dharmendra
didn't
leave
a
chance
to
woo
Bollywood's
Dream
Girl.
And
when
the
duo
was
roped
in
for
the
1975
release
Sholay,
which
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster,
Dharmendra
had
reportedly
bribed
the
spot
boys
on
the
sets
for
Hema
Malini.
As
Dharmendra
turns
a
year
older
today,
here's
a
look
at
his
mischievous
and
mushy
gesture
towards
Hema
Malini
that
impressed
the
actress
and
made
her
fall
in
love
with
him.
According
to
media
reports,
Dharmendra
used
to
do
several
mushy
gestures
to
impress
Hema
Malini.
However,
one
of
his
mischievous
act
did
reportedly
manage
to
impress
Hema.
This
happened
while
shooting
a
scene
in
Sholay
wherein
Dharmendra
teaches
Hema
Malini
how
to
use
a
revolver.
It
is
reported
that
Dharmendra
reportedly
bribed
the
spot
boys
to
create
a
disturbance
during
the
scene
so
that
he
could
hug
Hema
over
and
over.
According
to
media
reports,
he
would
pay
around
Rs
20
to
make
blunders
on
the
sets
either
by
dropping
a
reflector
or
messing
up
with
a
trolley
every
time
he
hinted.
Much
to
everyone's
surprise,
Dharmendra
ended
up
spending
Rs
2000
during
the
mischievous
act.
And
when
Hema
Malini
came
to
know
about
it,
she
was
mighty
impressed.
As
Hema
eventually
developed
feelings
for
Dharmendra,
the
couple
tied
the
knot
in
1980
after
dating
each
other
for
years.
The
duo
also
have
two
daughters
together
-
Esha
Deol
and
Ahana
Deol
-
and
they
are
going
strong
with
their
bond.
In
fact,
on
Dharmendra's
87th
birthday,
Hema
Malini
also
penned
a
sweet
note
for
him
and
wrote,
"Praying
for
dear
Dharam
ji's
good
health
on
his
birthday
today.
Wish
him
a
long
and
healthy
life
filled
always
with
happiness
and
joy!
My
prayers
will
be
with
him
today
and
every
day
of
our
lives.
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
to
the
love
of
my
life".
