Dharmendra Fears His Fans Will 'Stop Loving' Him As He Gets Older; Says, 'Consider Myself A Newcomer Even Today'
Dharmendra, who recently announced Apne 2, feels fans will stop loving him as he turns old.
The evergreen Dharmendra is among one of the most celebrated and loved superstars of his times. Even today, Dharam Paaji, as fans lovingly call him, enjoys a good fan following with people looking forward to seeing him on the big screen. The veteran actor, however, fears that him getting old will affect his fans' love for him. In an interview with Mid Day, the Sholay actor revealed how he continues to treat himself as a newcomer and always looks forward to working in exciting projects. Dharmendra recently announced reuniting with his sons Bobby and Sunny for the sequel of their blockbuster film, Apne.
Dharmendra, who will celebrate his 85th birthday soon, said, “I stopped counting my age after I turned 60. No matter what your age, you should keep your enthusiasm alive. I have childlike excitement about small things that life has to offer; I keep myself excited by thinking about what to do next as an actor. The camera loves me, and I become a different man when in front of it. I had dreamt of being an actor and became one because of my fans. My biggest worry is that my fans may stop loving me. So, I keep myself grounded and consider myself a newcomer even today. I tell myself that I need to experiment with different roles."
The actor further revealed how he is looking forward to work in web shows by adding, "Every decade, the audience’s tastes change. So, you have to offer them the kind of cinema they enjoy. I am unstoppable as an actor and will do a web show. I am waiting for a good opportunity."
Earlier this week, Dharmendra announced Apne 2 by tweeting, "With the blessings of Babaji and your love, all of us will be seen together, again. Feeling blessed to get a chance to work with my father, brother again this time with my son. #Apne2, in cinemas Diwali 2021." We can't wait!
