Ahead of his birthday, Dharmendra said Hindustan Times in an interview that he quit celebrating his birthday after the passing of his mother. “I have just returned after finishing my shoot in Delhi. I don’t have any birthday plans as such, our na hi kabhi birthday plan banaya hai maine (and I never made birthday plans). I stopped celebrating my birthday after my mother’s (Satwant Kaur) death.”

Notwithstanding, he added that he is happy with the love he gets from fans. “I know I have turned 86, but I don’t think about my age. I just work with honesty, aur khush hota hoon jab log abhi bhi pyaar karte hain (I am happy that people still love me). For them, I am still the same Dharmendra. I feel I was born to love and get loved.”
