While fans continue to wonder about the need to undergo this change at a later age, the veteran feels it is no big deal and shouldn’t be turn into a ‘baat ka batangad’<\/em>. Speaking to an Indian publication, the ‘Sholay’<\/em> star said, “I was always a proud Deol. The surname was always a part of our family. If you see, my sons Sunny and Bobby have always put out their full names.”<\/p>\n

“When I came into the film industry, actors avoided surnames: Dilip Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, Sanjay Khan, Biswajeet… [so] I also preferred to be known as just Dharmendra,” he reasoned. “It is never too late to do anything in life.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the sci-fi rom-com, ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’<\/em>, headlined by A-list actors Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, hit theatres on Friday, February 9, ahead of Valentine’s Day 2024.<\/p>\n
