Dharmendra to pen his autobiography in Urdu!

After evergreen Dev Anand and angry young man Amitabh Bachchan, it's now time for garam Dharam (Dharmendra) to pen his autobiography.

And what's different about his attempt? Well, he is writing his autobiography in Urdu. The book narrates the journey of the star starting from his childhood to current date. Dharam fondly remembers his struggles and successes right from when he was barely 23 as he came to Mumbai to realise his dreams of making his mark in tinseltown.

Even after winning a talent hunt conducted by a magazine, he struggled for a year to find a foothold in the industry. Days went by without food and no shelter as the struggle continued. However, nothing deterred the man brimming with steely will and desire to reach his goal. Now that he is debuting as a judge on India's Got Talent on Colors as well as penning his autobiography, Dharam is on a walk down memory lane. Dharam reveals that given his vast experience and time spent in the industry, this book will be a reader's delight. The biography will be penned in Urdu, a language Dharmendra is most comfortable with and will include rare pictures, his poetry and his application form that he had filled when he had participated in a talent hunt contest.

The actor says, "Even after winning that contest, I had to slog for an year for Bandini. I spent days without a morsel of food but was adamant on making it in the industry. I have lot to share with people who aspire to become something in life and am planning to do it through my autobiography." This book will give fans an insight into his personal life and bring to light juicy details on his two marriages and the link-ups he has had, including the one with the immortal Meena Kumari. Hmmmm...
