No more Patiala pegs. No more brooding over Bacardi. No more cheering over beer.

His love for the tipple is a thing of the past, as per insiders. And word has it that Dharmendra, 74, has sworn off the liquor bit and has turned teetotaler with a vengeance.

His swigs in the evenings are restricted to… lime juice! Reportedly, the recent health scare that the veteran suffered on the sets of 'Yamla Pagla Deewana,' made him spurn the boozing vice. This time, for good!

Close pal Anil Sharma ('Hukumat', 'Apne') says in a news quote, "He still wants to work and has taken this step to keep his health in good shape. He's a very determined person and I don't see why he will go back on his word."

Insiders assert that it was Hema Malini, and her two daughters Esha and Ahana, who coaxed Dharmendra to get rid off his unhealthy obsession. An elated Malini told the media, "It's true and that Dharamji doesn't drink anymore and he gave it up a while ago."

Cheering with citrus, Dharam ishstyle!

Sunny Deol might be gearing up to rub shoulders again with father Dharmendra and younger brother Bobby in laugh-riot 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' after 'Apne', but the actor-turned-director says they are more family than professionals on sets.

'He is more of a father to us than an actor (on sets). We in fact don't think whether who is father, actor, son or anything while we are working. We just work and if someone is not comfortable with something than we come in and make it comfortable. When we are acting, we're just doing our roles basically,' Sunny told IANS.

'Bobby and I have got a good rapport between us. He is like a younger son to me. It's always been like that,' he added.

My perception about Rahul Mahajan has changed: Ram Kapoor

TV actor Ram Kapoor says he always thought of Rahul Mahajan as a notorious guy, but his perception changed when he met him on the sets of the reality show 'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega'

'I got to meet Rahul for the first time on the sets of this show. Whatever I knew of him was through articles that I had read about his various scandals. So I formed an opinion that maybe he is wild and immature. But all that drastically changed when I met him,' said Ram, who is hosting the show.

'He is a very different man underneath. He is very emotional and sensitive,' he added.

'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega', which comes on NDTV Imagine, is an attempt to find a suitable match for Rahul through a worldwide search.
