The veteran Indian actor Dharmendra requires no introduction. Even at 88, Dharmendra refuses to give up on acting. He recently made a short yet memorable cameo appearance in director Karan Johar’s blockbuster film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, headlined by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. Despite not being in the limelight for a long time now, old pictures and videos of Dharmendra often go viral. Recently, a vintage photograph of the Sholay actor sharing the same frame with an Iranian dancer during his younger days is widely circulating on social media, grabbing the attention of the masses.

The black and white picture with grainy details first surfaced on the social news aggregation platform Reddit. It captured Dharmendra hugging the Iranian dancer from behind while the woman had her arms wrapped around the actor’s neck. Both sported beaming smiles on their faces. The woman was dressed in a traditional dancing attire, which comprised a bralette and a thigh-high slit skirt. Dharmendra donned a suit. The photo was presumably dug out from an old newspaper article.
