Hindi cinema veteran Dharmendra says he never felt the trappings of any image and every time he took up a role, he gave the glimpse of a new actor in him to the audience. The original He-Man of Bollywood, who has inspired the likes of Salman Khan to take up working out, interestingly started off his career playing the common man roles in the '60s in films - Anpadh, Bandini, Anupama and Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke, among others.

Then came the '70s where the masses saw his desi macho man side in Sholay and Dharam Veer, among other enjoyable parts in films like Guddi, Chupke Chupke, Mera Gaon Mera Desh.
