The Deol family, known for their close bond, has consistently delighted fans both on and off-screen. A throwback video has resurfaced, showcasing Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol setting the stage ablaze with an energetic performance of the hit track "Jatt Yamla Pagla Deewana". The performance, which took place at an award event in Toronto in 2011, coincided with the release of their film 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'.
The trio's charisma and spirited dance moves captivated the audience, reaffirming their status as one of Bollywood's most beloved families. The performance was a tribute to their family legacy and celebrated the playful, feel-good spirit of the classic 1975 song from 'Pratiggya'.
Adding to the glamour of the event, veteran actress Hema Malini and her daughter Esha Deol were present in the audience, beaming with pride and applauding the performance. Hema Malini, who starred alongside Dharmendra in the 1975 film 'Pratiggya,' has also been known to recreate Dharmendra's iconic "Jatt Yamla Pagla Deewana" step. In one instance, she jokingly said that Dharmendra would ask her to teach him Bharatanatyam after seeing her perform his steps.
Dharmendra, despite confessing to not being a skilled dancer, has created his own signature style that has become iconic over time. His hook step from "Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana" remains memorable, and many actors have tried to emulate it over the years.
In related news, Dharmendra, 89, is currently recovering well in a Mumbai hospital after experiencing breathlessness. His family has assured fans of his stable condition, with daughter Esha Deol criticizing the media for spreading false rumors about his health.
The Deol family's enduring appeal lies not only in their successful film careers but also in their visible family bond. Dharmendra's health and career have been closely followed by fans, and he is known for his roles in classics like Sholay. He also served as a Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2009.
The "Yamla Pagla Deewana" film series, which began with the 2011 film, marked the second time Dharmendra, Sunny, and Bobby Deol paired up on screen, after "Apne" in 2007. "Yamla Pagla Deewana" was a box office hit, leading to two sequels.
