Dharmendra's political journey was short-lived: 'An actor should remain an actor'
Dharmendra passes away: A native of Sahnewal near Ludhiana, Dharmendra's Punjabi charm struck a chord with voters in Rajasthan. His campaign drew large crowds and plenty of attention - both for his star power and his outspoken remarks. While the BJP, led by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, faced a defeat in the elections, Dharmendra was successful in his electoral debut, defeating Congress candidate Rameshwar Lal Dudi by nearly 60,000 votes.
