For over a decade now, Dharmendra has developed a penchant for poetry and has been writing couplets and verses himself. He has rejected lucrative offers from publishers for his autobiography, saying that he has been authoring one himself – in Urdu! When it is ready he may self-publish it.
And that was what he was busy with when illness struck.
SpotboyE.com wishes Dharmendra a speedy recovery.
