Tanuja recalls when she slapped Dharmendra for flirting with her being a married man
Tanuja recalls when “Dharmendra flirted with her
even while he was married to
Prakash Kaur and had two sons
Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
Tanuja also recounted that once she and Dharmendra were Drinking Buddies, But one fine day Tanuja slapped Dharam Paaji after which his out-of line hehavior transformed their bond eternally.
Tanuja further went on to reveal when a drunk Dharmendra tried to flirt with her while being married to Prakash Kaur and having a 5 year old son Sunny!
Dharmendra is one of the few actors who has always been the apple of everyone’s eye due to his good looks and friendly nature. But the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor was once slapped by Kajol‘s mother, Tanuja, when the actor became too friendly with her.
Tanuja and Dharamji have been one of the closest of buddies. In fact the actress was even friends with Dharamji’s first wife Prakash Kaur. In one of her interviews, Tanuja once admitted how she was hit by her close friend and the Sholay actor and she did not know how to react.
In fact, Tanuja confessed to being Dharmendra’s drinking buddy when she was on shoot for a film with the actor. It was then that she even met his first wife, Prakash Kaur.
In one of her media interaction Tanuja recalled, that amidst shoot for Dulal Guha’s directorial Chand Aur Suraj she and Dharam were drinking buddies and would have great fun. He even introduced her to his wife Prakash. Sunny Deol was just five then, while his daughter Lali was around six-months-old.
In an old interview with Filmfare Tanuja, she once discussed her professional and personal relationship with Dharmendra and narrated, that on one fine day, he tried to flirt with me. Taken aback, she slapped him saying ‘Besharam! She knew his wife, and he has the audacity to flirt with her.
Feeling embarrassed at the slap Dharamji immediately apologized and pleaded
‘Tanu, meri Maa, sorry bolta hoon! Please make me your brother.’”
After that Tanuja tied a Rakhi to Dharmendra. However, they wonder why she would do that to someone who was making a pass at her while he was drunk. Someone who was a friend and tried to cross the line – alcohol or no alcohol crossing the line definitely cannot be justified. However, this was probably how uncomfortable events must have been dealt with in those days!
