Dharmendra appeals fans to become good citizens
Dharmendra was accompanied by a few people who assisted him in entering the polling booth in Mumbai. After casting his vote, he showed his inked finger to the cameras. The veteran actor had a brief interaction with the media before getting inside his car. While Dharmendra kept on saying that everyone should become a good citizen, he lost his cool while interacting with the paparazzi. He said, “Acche shehri bano, desh bhakt bano, maa baap see pyaar karo… aap ko malum hai jo mujhse kehelwana chahte hai (Be a good citizen, love your parents, you already know this… still trying to put words in my mouth).”
