“I am a shy person and I actually get embarrassed when people complimen...” — Dharmendra Quote

I am a shy person and I actually get embarrassed when people compliment me for my looks. But when I think about it later, I feel good.

I have always been hungry for the love of the people.

It is interesting how superstitious this industry makes you.

More than an actor, I am just a boy from Punjab, a sweet boy. I know people love me for that quality.

I'd rather be known as a good human being than a good actor.

When 'Mardaani' came out, one of the great compliments was that we hated the character but we loved the guy. So that was a great compliment to get, especially from female fans.

Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity then they really are.

The greatest compliment that anyone can pay me is that after I say something, they remember it. I'll go over a piece of copy until I've gotten the essence of what the writer had in mind - every nuance.

My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
