Son Bobby Deol also reposted the video on his Instagram page and went on to share that the car was a ‘beautiful symbol’ of their journey. He also shared that there were many beautiful memories anchored to the vehicle.

The Ashram actor wrote, “Love you Papa! And yes 9144 is not a car but a beautiful symbol of the journey that has brought us so far. Many many beautiful memories are anchored in there.”

In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Dharmendra called himself an “emotional fool” to have kept his first car. “I’ve been emotional enough to keep my first car, a Fiat… because of the fear that if I have nothing someday, I can convert it into a taxi!” he said.

On the work front, Dharmendra is all set to star in Karan Johar’s directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The Alia Bhatt-Ranveer Singh starrer will also feature senior actors Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead role, also marks Karan Johar’s comeback as a director of a feature film after five years. Dharmendra will also star in Apne 2, which will star him alongside Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol. The Anil Sharma directorial marks sequel of 2007 release.
