Veteran actor Raza Murad recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming moment with Bollywood legend Dharmendra. In his post, Murad expressed his admiration for Dharmendra, calling him his “most favorite” while posing together at a function in Mumbai.
In this post we can see the two seasoned actors standing side by side, smiling at the camera. Raza Murad, known for his distinctive deep voice and commanding screen presence, appears delighted to be in the company of Dharmendra, one of Hindi cinema’s most beloved stars.
Both actors represent a golden era of Indian cinema, having contributed significantly to Bollywood over several decades. Dharmendra, often called the “He-Man” of Indian cinema, has appeared in over 300 films in a career spanning more than six decades. His charismatic screen presence and versatility earned him the nickname ‘Garam Dharam,’ reflecting his passionate performances and heartthrob status.
Raza Murad, on the other hand, has built a formidable career playing powerful characters, often in antagonist roles. Murad has appeared in over 300 films himself, making him one of the most prolific actors in Indian cinema. Born in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, he comes from a family with deep connections to the film industry. He is the son of character actor Murad, and cousin of actress Zeenat Aman.
Murad’s career began in the 1970s, and he quickly established himself as a notable presence in Hindi films. His imposing height, commanding voice, and distinctive dialogue delivery made him perfect for roles portraying authority figures, including negative characters that became his trademark. While predominantly known for villainous roles, Murad has demonstrated remarkable range throughout his career.
The veteran actor has maintained an active social media presence, regularly connecting with his fans. In a recent Instagram post, Murad proudly thanked his followers for helping him reach 600,000 followers on the platform, expressing his gratitude for their “love and patronage.”
In another recent post, Murad highlighted his connection to Uttar Pradesh, stating, “All of us have one thing in common. We all represent Uttar Pradesh. Although the districts may be different, the state of Uttar Pradesh is our janambhoomi (birthplace), and Mumbai, Maharashtra is our karambhoomi (workplace).” This sentiment reflects the journey of many actors who migrated from various parts of India to build successful careers in Mumbai’s film industry.
Murad has also been sharing glimpses of his personal life and professional engagements. He recently attended the silver jubilee wedding anniversary of his friends Satyendra and Rekha Tripathy in Delhi, where he was accompanied by his wife Shahrukh Murad and was photographed with the Delhi Chief Minister.
The veteran actor has also been sharing his memories of other film legends. In one of his posts, he recalled the late Raj Kapoor’s mesmerizing gaze, describing it as “do neele heere chamak rahe hain” (two blue diamonds are shining), showcasing his poetic appreciation for his contemporaries in the industry.
Murad also recently shared his thoughts about legendary actor Manoj Kumar, further demonstrating his respect for colleagues who have contributed significantly to Indian cinema.
The friendship between Raza Murad and Dharmendra represents the enduring bonds formed in the film industry, where actors who have worked together over decades maintain warm relationships beyond the screen. Their recent meeting at the Mumbai function suggests that these industry veterans continue to stay connected and celebrate their shared journey in cinema.
As both actors continue to be respected figures in the industry, moments like these capture the legacy and camaraderie of Bollywood’s golden generation, preserving the rich heritage of Indian cinema for newer generations of film enthusiasts.
