Dharmendra wrote poetry under the pen name “Veeru”
He once worked as a railway employee in a railway workshop in Punjab, doing small jobs to support his family.
He trained his body naturally — no gym culture then
He holds the record for most romantic roles in the 60s–70s
He was an ardent nature lover & farmer
He did not watch his own movies
He was extremely camera-shy in real life
He was a self-taught English speaker
