Bollywood Film Families: Hailing from a quaint Punjab village, Dharmendra ascended to the pinnacle of stardom during the 1970s in Hindi cinema. Fondly referred to as the `He-Man` of Indian cinema, Dharmendra was celebrated for his dashing visage and rugged charisma, a precursor to the `macho man` phenomenon in Bollywood. His on-screen collaboration with Hema Malini resulted in a string of blockbuster hits and eventually blossomed into a real-life union, uniting two of Hindi cinema`s most cherished icons. Meanwhile, in the family`s cinematic lineage, Dharmendra`s elder son, Sunny Deol, carved a niche for himself as a prominent action star during the 1980s, while his younger son, Bobby Deol, captured the hearts of audiences in the 1990s with his striking good looks.
