Actor Dharmendra Passes Away: The great actor Dharmendra is no more in this world, but the lessons given by him are still burning as light in the lives of many artists. Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh is also one of them. People close to Pawan Singh say that the lessons Dharmendra gave him at the beginning of his career still impact his every step.
Patna. Great actor Dharmendra is no more in this world. While his fans are deeply saddened by his demise, there is a wave of mourning in the cinema world. Dharmendra was a down to earth actor who always pushed his fellow actors forward and taught them positive life lessons. A similar story is related to Bhojpuri power star Pawan Singh. In fact, actor Dharmendra gave such a good lesson to Pawan Singh, who had just entered the film world, that Pawan Singh made it the basic mantra of his professional life. It was the year 2013 when the shooting of the film ‘Desh-Pardes’ was going on. Pawan Singh was in the initial phase of his career at that time… work was increasing, he was gaining popularity and that initial stardom was also visible in his mannerisms. At the same time, he got the news that Dharmendra was calling him in his vanity van. Pawan tells that he was very nervous, but as soon as he went inside, Dharmendra smiled and said – Come son, sit. In the same meeting, Dharmendra said something which changed Pawan’s behaviour, thinking and his entire further professional life journey. He said- Pawan son, keep your feet pressed to the ground throughout your life. Walk with a broad chest, but with your head slightly bowed. Many times Pawan Singh says emotionally – This sentence of Dharam Paaji entered my soul. Whenever I go on stage or am faced with a big decision, his words show the way like a light.
The era of stardom and the mantra of humility
When Pawan Singh’s name started shining rapidly in the Bhojpuri industry, this lesson he received was not just an advice, but it became the strongest pillar of his personality. Experts say that Pawan Singh’s popularity does not come just from his ‘Power Star’ image, but from the humble behavior with which he meets people. Their enthusiasm remains high on political or cultural forums, but arrogance is not visible. This is the same thing that Dharmendra had said – chest wide, but head bowed.
Dharmendra’s ‘lesson of humility’ gives direction to Pawan Singh even today.
Pawan Singh’s new journey in politics
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Pawan Singh had contested from Karakat and lost. But now he is again active with BJP. His language, behavior and connection with the public is a topic of discussion at this time. It is being said that just as Dharmendra’s humility influenced generations in Hindi cinema, similarly his teachings have left a deep impact on Pawan Singh’s political and social behavior. Dharmendra’s departure is a deep shock for both Bhojpuri industry and Pawan Singh. Pawan says this many times in his interviews – Dharam Paaji was not just a superstar, he was a guru who showed the path of humanity. His teachings are included in my every step.
The relationship that connects generations
Relationships are often considered temporary in the film industry, but the relationship between Dharmendra and Pawan Singh was an exception. The ease with which Dharmendra explained to him has become the identity of Pawan Singh today. Stardom, crowd, politics – amidst all this, that lesson keeps him grounded. After Dharmendra’s demise, this story is not just an incident, but an example of the humanity which Dharmendra lived his entire life and which artists like Pawan Singh are taking forward.
