逆水寒

A |     It is a moment etched in history. Three generations of Hindi cinema sharing one stage. At the 1997 Filmfare Awards, legendary late actor Dharmendra received his Lifetime Achievement Award from none other than Dilip Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan. The emotional evening saw Dharmendra reminiscing about his humble beginnings, his struggles to make it to Bombay and his decades-long wait for the Black Lady that had always eluded him.          In his winning speech, he said, "Main actor banna chahta tha, jaise ki har nawjawan banna chahta hain. Main kisise zaahir nahi kiya kyunki jab boi actor banna chahta hain aur zaahir karta hain toh mazaak ka mauju bann jaata hain. Maine apni maa aur karibi doston se kahaan ki main actor banna chahta hoon. Maine apni maa se kahaan ki paise bachao aur mujhe Bombay bhejo. Maa ne bola tum family mein sabse bare ho, zimmedaariyo ka bojh hain, kaise jaa sakte ho? Ye naukri aisi nahi hain, mehnat karni padti hain." (I wanted to become an actor like every other youngster. However, I did not reveal it to my family, because when someone expresses their interest of becoming an actor, they are laughed at. I told my mother and closest friends about my dream. I asked my mom to collect some money and send me to Bombay but she was skeptical as I was the eldest son. She told me the job won't be an easy one.)          The Sholay actor added, "Toh iss tarah Filmfare mein ekta istehaar chhaapa ke actors and actresses chahiye. Filmfare ne mujhe bulaya aur select kiya. Phir aapka ye bhai aur dost Dharmendra ban gaya Filmfare ki wajah se... Har sal main suit silwaata tha, matching tie dhundta tha ki mujhe ek saal ye award mil jaaye. Lekin nahi mila. '60s mein meri bohot filmein Golden Jubilee huwi, lekin maine suit silwaane bandh kar diye. Maine socha T-shirt ke saath chala jaunga. Aj 37 saal ke baad mujhe ye trophy mili, jisme mein 15 saalo ki trophies dekh raha hoon, jo mujhe mili nahi." (Then I came across an advertisement in one of the Filmfare magazines. Filmfare called me and selected me to become an actor. Then I became Dharmendra. It is because of Filmfare. I would purchase a matching suit and tie every year every year for the awards but never received one. I had many hits in the '60s but I stopped buying suits. I thought I will receive an award in a T-shirt. I am receiving this trophy after 37 years. I am seeing 15 years' worth of trophies in this one.)                    Speaking to Dilip Kumar, he hugged the late actor while noting that they have been brothers ever since he started their career. He also embraced Shah Rukh Khan in a hug, who stood shyly in the background. Dharmendra spoke about Shah Rukh and the competition his generation brought in.Dharmendra passed away on November 24, 2025 at the age of 89. His passing leaves behind an unmatched legacy of over six decades. The actor, born as Dharmendra Singh Deol, breathed his last at his residence. He was admitted to Breach Candy hospital earlier this month due to respiratory complications.Also Read: Photos: Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt Visit Dharmendra at Breach Candy Hospital。    Kyiv, Oct 17 (UNI) As per reports in international media, at least three explosions have been heard in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Monday morning, after air raid sirens were sounded.

The explosions happened at around 7 am local time, said the BBC. One of them sounded close to the city centre.

It comes a week after Kyiv was hit by several Russian missiles at rush hour, in a nationwide attack which left 19 dead.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the strikes last week were in retaliation for the bombing of a key bridge linking Russia to occupied Crimea, which he blamed on Ukraine.

It was the first time during the war that the centre of Kyiv was directly targeted.

Putin also said most designated targets had been hit, and there was no need for more large-scale strikes on Ukraine. He said it was not his aim to destroy the country.
