There are many stories related to actor Dharmendra. Those close to him keep sharing these tales. Dharmendra passed away today, November 24th. On this occasion, we are sharing one related to him. Recently, actor-director Satyajit Puri shared an interesting anecdote about Dharmendra. He recalled the veteran actor's sharp response when the underworld allegedly tried to threaten him.

Dharmendra Was Not Afraid of the Underworld
Puri, in an interview with Friday Talkies, recounted how the former action star Dharmendra challenged gangsters to beware of his "army from Punjab." He said, "The underworld was very strong back then. That was a time when the underworld would call an actor, and they would be scared. However, Dharmendra and his family were never afraid of them. He would tell them, 'If you come, the entire Sahnewal will come from Punjab. You have 10 people, but I have an entire army.'" I'll say one word, and trucks full of people will come to fight against Punjab. So don't mess with me. And he never messed with Dharmendra."
