'Look at my thighs and muscles': From gym, Dharmendra, 88, gives a look at his fitness regime

Veteran actor Dharmendra recently offered a powerful reminder of his enduring strength and vitality through a video shared on Instagram, where he showcased his impressive leg muscles and toned physique. At 88, the iconic star continues to defy age, dedicating time to both physiotherapy and regular exercise as part of his fitness journey.

Seated in a gym, the actor appeared visibly upbeat and full of energy, clearly proud of the progress he's making in maintaining his physical health. The highlight of his video wasn’t just his charming smile—it was the unmistakable focus on his strong thighs and defined muscles, a testament to his dedication to staying fit well into his senior years.

The veteran actor in a video said that he has started exercise and physiotherapy. "I hope you must be very happy to see me. Look at my thighs and muscles," he said.


The video had fans cheering, especially as he confidently drew attention to his muscle tone and powerful legs, subtly inspiring others to not let age be a limitation. Even after decades in the spotlight, Dharmendra’s presence remains magnetic, with fans applauding not just his legacy but also his commitment to health and well-being.
The clip quickly gained traction online, as admirers flooded the comments with praise for his muscular build and disciplined approach to fitness. Some even calling him “Sher”—a lion—highlighting his formidable screen and off-screen presence.


Amidst his personal health focus, Dharmendra also took a moment to pay tribute to his dear friend and legendary actor Manoj Kumar, who recently passed away. In a heartfelt gesture, Dharmendra shared a nostalgic throwback photo of the two cinema greats, recalling cherished memories from their time together. The picture captured them smiling warmly, an image that resonated with fans of classic Bollywood. He also visited Manoj Kumar’s residence to offer condolences, underlining the deep bond they shared over the years. Manoj Kumar, remembered for his patriotic films and strong screen presence, was cremated with full state honours in Mumbai, following his passing due to a prolonged illness.

Even as he grieves the loss of a friend, Dharmendra remains firmly active in his professional life. He was last seen in the romantic sci-fi film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. His screen time might have been limited, but his presence was felt and appreciated by fans.

Looking forward, the legendary actor is set to return in a big way. He will be seen in Ikkis, a war drama directed by Sriram Raghavan, based on the life of Param Vir Chakra awardee Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. The film also stars Agastya Nanda, bringing together generations of acting royalty. Dharmendra will also reunite with his family in Apne 2, where he will star alongside his sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, and grandson Karan Deol.
