'Whenever I feel low, I watch Chupke Chupke.'
Dharmendra's oeuvre was so phenomenal that there was never a phase in his professional life when he was in danger of falling into a rut, in terms of either the kind of films he starred in or the sort of co-actors he worked with.
Dharmendra's demise means the loss of one of the biggest icons ever in the Hindi film firmament.
'I have always broken my image every time I went on screen. I don't know what it means to be a Greek God but people used to call me one.'
'The industry has lost a legend... and we've lost someone who shaped the very soul of our cinema.'
Kumkum, who featured in some of the most memorable songs in Hindi cinema, passed away on Tuesday. She was 86.
'I have the love of the audience for the last 60 years.' 'I am very greedy in this matter.' 'I want those who love me to continue doing so.'
The good old days... Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan's is a bonding that is special and rare in an industry where friendships are ephemeral. Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is their sixth film together, after Guddi, Samadhi, Phagun, Chupke Chupke and Sholay.
