"He-Man" of Bollywood who holds a record of giving most hits to Bollywood....never won a filmfare award during his hey days.... After delivering maximum hits.
But After 37 years.....
In 1997, Dharmendra received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.
" 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 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.
Despite doing over 300 films...
Dharmendra received only one award early in his career for Best Talent, followed by a lifetime achievement award in 1997.
