Bollywood mourned on Monday, November 24, as it lost its precious gem, Dharmendra, who passed away at the age of 89 after a prolonged illness. While the legendary He-Man may have left us, his iconic dialogues and memorable performances will remain etched in the hearts of fans and continue to entertain generations to come.
A look at Dharmendra’s iconic dialogues:
“Basanti, in kutto ke samne mat nachna” (Sholay, 1975)
A cult dialogue spoken by Veeru to Hema Malini’s character in Sholay. Directed by Ramesh Sippy, the film was written by Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan. The iconic film features Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Amjad Khan, and Govardhan Asrani in other key roles.

“Is Story Mein Emotion Hai, Drama Hai, Tragedy Hai” Another famous dialogue from the movie Sholay comes from the scene when a drunk Veeru climbs a water tank, a scene that showcases his profound acting chops.
“Dil Ke Mamle Mein Hamesha Dil Ki Sunni Chahiye.” This dialogue signifies the importance of following one’s heart in emotional matters.
