Bollywood has given audiences countless memorable characters, but some have left an equally lasting impact through their fashion. From Kareena Kapoor’s trendsetting Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Madhuri Dixit’s elegant looks in Dil To Pagal Hai to Kriti Sanon’s chic wardrobe in Cocktail 2, these on-screen avatars turned every frame into a fashion masterclass.

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. Dharmendra has passed away at 89 leaving behind an unmatched legacy.
