With 'Sholay' throwback, Dharmendra campaigns for Hema Malini

MATHURA: Actor and BJP MP Hema Malini on Sunday campaigned in her parliamentary constituency, Mathura, in Uttar Pradesh with her husband and actor, Dharmendra, by her side.

The popular Bollywood couple addressed a crowd for the Jat community where a massive crowd turned up. Addressing the rally, Dharmendra recalled how his humble beginnings helped him become a successful actor. "I am the son of a farmer and I have worked very hard in the fields when I was young," he said.

Dharmendra had a brief political stint about ten years ago when he contested the 2004 national elections from Rajasthan's Bikaner on BJP ticket and won.
