Such a golden era of Bollywood! Dharmendra and Ashok Kumar together - what legends! ❤️ Today's actors should learn from their simplicity and dedication. That autograph on a 100 rupee note shows how humble stars were back then.

My nani used to tell me stories about watching Ashok Kumar's films in single-screen theaters. This photo brings back so many memories she shared. Dharmendra ji still has that same charming smile after all these years!

While I appreciate these throwback moments, I wish our veteran actors would also comment on current cinema trends. Would love to hear Dharmendra ji's views on how Bollywood has evolved - the good and bad aspects.

Dream Girl was such a classic! Hema Malini, Dharmendra and Ashok Kumar - what a combination. These stars had real screen presence, not just good looks. Missing those meaningful storylines and soulful music.

That autograph on currency note wouldn't be allowed today! 😄 But it shows how personal the star-fan relationship was back then. Now everything is about Instagram likes and PR managed interactions.
