										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Waheeda Rehman remembers Dharmendra, as an uncomplicated and grounded person, even after finding fame. She describes him as the young man from rural Punjab, who arrived in Mumbai with dreams of becoming an actor. Although they worked together on only a handful of films, she recalls that their collaborations were not major projects in her career.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-27237 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="767" height="511" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250-300x200.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250-768x513.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250-750x501.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wheeda-1-scaled-e1764075020250.jpg 1130w" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>She mentions Asit Sen&#8217;s Khamoshi and Rajinder Singh Bedi&#8217;s Phagun. In both films, Dharmendra had small roles. In Khamoshi, his face never appeared on screen as he performed with his back to the camera, yet still managed to leave an impact.</em></span></p></blockquote>

During that time, she was experimenting with glamorous roles in an effort to move away from her image of playing homely characters. She shares that it was actually Rajendra Kumar who encouraged her to try a glamorous look.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-27234 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="786" height="1053" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983-224x300.jpg 224w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983-765x1024.jpg 765w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983-768x1028.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983-750x1004.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/waheeda-2-scaled-e1764073989983.jpg 850w" sizes="(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px" /></a></p>
<p>Reflecting on that phase, she says that artists sometimes make choices they later question exchanging meaningful roles for less fitting ones. She wishes she had the opportunity to work on stronger films with Dharmendra.</p>
