I think the old movies did horror better than anyone else. I still get chills remembering songs like Gumnaam Hai Koi, Mera Saaya, Noori, Aayega Aanewala

Love Noorie. The songs were good.

HR and Sridevi

I miss being able to get a creepy guy, who was calling me insistently one night, to hear Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki on TV. All the while he was waiting, I took a shower and painted my fingernails like a diva 🤣 Then I blocked him.

Haha. Bhidna hi hai toh All in One dedo . It was the same thing back when I used to watch TV soaps. Soggy biscuit of a guy. One pure wife or girlfriend . And the ex who was the kalankini. Sometimes there were half a dozen women after one guy and each one had one weird outfit or accessory. They kept dying and coming back. I kinda miss those days.

Regarding Dharmendras wife comments you must realize shes not that educated never went to work in life and stays in in laws house

So she cannot say i hate what dharmendra did as her and her kids roti kapda makaan comes from dharmendra and she stays with his parents not her parents house so how can she dare oppose or say anything against his marriage with hema

Her parents must be villagers who will never accept her back with her kids so she had to keep quiet and bear everything

Imagine shes super rich as dharmendra or hema and educated and her parents support her to leave hubby will she stay?

So we must see circumstance under which they accept a second marriage

In 1980 when hema and dharam married sunny must be 23, bobby must be 11 or 12 her daughters 15 or 18 and unmarried

And sunny may not be working too than so if she leaves hubby how will she marry her daughters as that time broken family tough to marry daughters

And dharmendra had affairs with meena kumari and may be others too. She was used to his philandering ways since he joined industry may be? When he never left her before for his affairs may be she felt he will never leave her for hema

Agree. I can't understand why Dharam is getting so much respect. For what?! Look, love doesn't happen at first sight - it takes time. So if you keep putting yourself in a position where there is a chance to fall in love with someone else, you are willfully doing it. If you find someone attractive and you are married, you can just keep yourself away from them and the actual falling in love part will never happen.

Dharam never wanted to divorce as is being said here. He's old AF now and he still lives with his first wife. It was Hema that was shunted off to another house and he only visits her occasionally. His daughters are treated like step-kids. He was barely even involved in their weddings. On the other hand, he kept funding movies with for his sons and lives with them and their families in a joint family.

In these types of situations, the man has nothing to lose. He is having his cake and eating it too. He gets to maintain his old family and he's got the other woman tucked off to the side where he can enjoy her too. The *only* difference is that he fake-changed religions to give her a more respectable title of second wife instead of just a mistress but those are just technicalities.

What example did he set? His sons turned out the same way. Bobby as far as I know was having an affair but will never leave his wife because she is rich and he is a flop. Sunny Deol is married and involved in a life-long affair with Dimple Kapadia. Men like Dharam should not be encouraged.

Bobby was in love with neelam for many years but dharmendra refused to accept to her as bobby wife

Bobby had affair with pooja bhat but broke up as his family did not accept her too

Who is bobby having affair after marraige?

Sunny wanted to marry dimple but dharam did not want anything to do with it and married him to his current wife

Dharam can have affair with many and marry two times but sons cannot choose women they love as wifes

Sunny is wrong to continue affair after wedding but hes been forced in this marriage by parents

I guess what are dimples daughters and bobby doing? They are good friends from 26-27 years since they worked together but cannot stop dimple and sunny affair? Complicated relationships they have. It must be akward for bobby and twinkle as they are friends from long.

But when akshay kumar had affair with priyanka i had read bobby played a role to ensure her marriage gets saved. Not only this he helped sohail khan get married to the girl he loved by stopping her wedding with another person. But he should first save his sis in law wedding

Isn't this a bit of a cop-out? 😛 "Good" marriages and "bad" marriages are both vague and cannot be defined by one entity. Person A might not be ready to walk out of a marriage but Person B might be one foot out the door and relying on their last brain cell to keep it together, you know what I mean? I also hope you realize that I'm not talking about Dharmenda and whatever he pulled with Hema Malini here. I absolutely cannot stand men who cheat and upgrade their wives and move on like the first one never existed. We branched off that a while back, so most of my posts are centered on normal, everyday people, not bollywood celebrities.

And I'm not attacking you for stating facts I allegedly don't like. I'm just saying that it's so obvious that it's a given in most of the households. Most of the parents already know their kids would love nothing more than seeing them together as a part of the same team. They don't need scientific studies to tell them so, it's elementary stuff. I'm just baffled that you put so much stock on these studies that you are willing to get down and dirty with people who veer from it... for breaking "rules" and find them so unsavory and selfish for not sticking together for the sake of their kids.

You've called me high-handed, entitled, and something else which I forget now. You also said in one of your prior posts I'd said something about other posters on this thread who shared their personal experiences, which I didn't.

Yet you claim you didn't indulge in personal attacks.

Right.

As for the topic, you're yet again claiming everyone knows this and in the next sentence contradicting it by saying I'm putting so much stock in such studies - which is essentially saying the conclusions ain't valid. In that case, bring actual data to prove the point instead of attacking the messenger.

Moreover, I cited the studies only to show the claims of all of these being society's arbitrary rules are wrong. There is actually evidence that parents staying together does matter to children.

And yeah... when people ignore the needs of their dependent kids for their own sake, it isn't about *breaking rules.* Let's not twist what I said into something else to justify those personal attacks. It's about showing the most basic level of decency expected as a parent.

Also, no, adding the caveat about abuse is no cop-out. Because just as it's elementary that kids' needs do come first, its pretty elementary that there is a difference between a toxic relationship and a mundane one.

I think I've taken enough personal attacks for things I didn't say or do because apparently it's a no-no to call selfishness for what it is. So it has to be twisted into something else altogether. Not in the mood for more. So ciao and God bless.

Dharmendra's Routine for Sharing His Time Between Two Households

1.Breakfast of idli,dosa,sambar and coffee in his new South Indian house.

2.Return to his North Indian home for a drink or two followed by a typical Punjabi dinner with family before finally retiring to bed.

Quoted from Raj Grover's book "Legends of Bollywood."

Falling in love is one thing,you can't help it but how do you justify being in love when you already have a partner and have begun to raise a family with her? Even if his first marriage had already soured by then or whatever his excuse was , it's disturbing when somebody just thinks of abandonning their spouse . If he can leave his wife for you he can definitely leave you for the next broad.

If Sridevi really kept Boney from being close to his kids that was nasty. Wow. That could be true going by the way Arjun talks about her. He tries to hide bitterness .

Why are ppl only blaming sridevi? Boney is the married one here. He should be held more responsible.

This is such a conflicting interview..

Mumtaz seems so confused about her own mrg..

On one hand she praises her husband for being honest about his affair and still staying in the mrg..

And then she says if the guy doesn't stand by u or marry u even after telling the wife he is being dishonest..so leave him..

That's what her husband did ya? But she praised him.

Then she went ahead n said break away from a married man coz in the end he will always go back to his wife. But she herself wished her husband would finally return to her.

This looked less like n interview and more of a msg to her husband's GF
