One of the biggest superstars of India, Thalaivar Rajinikanth, is celebrating his 75th birthday today. Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with love and wishes. On this special occasion, it is a perfect moment to look back at a memorable video shared by the late Bollywood legend Dharmendra, showing the warmth and camaraderie between the two iconic actors.
An iconic blast from the past
A few years ago, Dharmendra shared a clip from their 1984 film Insaaf Kaun Karega, where he starred opposite Rajinikanth. The video begins with a serious confrontation between Dharmendra’s character Veeru and Rajinikanth’s Inspector Vikram. But the tension quickly turns into comedy as the actors end up hugging each other. In the clip, Rajinikanth jokes, “Dekh. Mujhe Kung fu, Karate sab aata hai. Tumko kya aata hai?” To this, Dharmendra humorously replies, “Aaloo parathe aate hain.”
Along with the video, Dharmendra wrote: “Rajini a darling friend. A great actor….A funny scene with him…..hope you will enjoy it.” He also added, “Lovely clip, full of fun….kakoli, those were beautiful days….. and some of my comedy scenes ….I use to write myself. I hope they will understand my mixture of Hindi Punjabi…..” This heartfelt note reflected not just humor, but also the respect and bond shared by the two stars.
A lasting friendship beyond the camera
Dharmendra and Rajinikanth shared screen space again in Farishtay (1991), further strengthening their friendship. Their off-screen bond was equally remarkable, built on mutual respect and warmth. When Dharmendra passed away on November 24 this year, Rajinikanth took to social media to pay his respects, posting: “Farewell, my friend. I will always remember your golden heart and the moments we shared. Rest in peace, Dharam ji. My deepest condolences to his family.”
Remembering the legends
The video and messages serve as a reminder of the lighter, joyful moments in cinema history. Fans continue to cherish these memories, celebrating not only Rajinikanth’s 75th birthday but also the enduring friendships and bonds that define the film industry.
