Veteran actor Dharmendra on Friday shared a 22-year-old clip of legendary actor Dilip Kumar.

In the hilarious clip, Dilip Kumar is seen giving a speech in Punjabi, in front of a large crowd.

“Ye …pyaare bhai mere …Urdu bolen English bolen ….Hindi punjabi bole….rooh mein uttar jaare hain….jazbaat bhare bol inke (This my dear brother, whether he speaks in Urdu, English, Hindi or Punjabi, his emotional words speak to your soul),” the 83-year-old captioned his tweet.

The video is from 1998 when Dilip was 75-years-old.

In the clip, Dilip talks about the secret behind his good health at 75. He also talks about the similarities in their languages and lifestyles.

Dharmendra and Dilip worked together in Anokha Milan (1972).

In a post on Dilip’s birthday in 2019, Dharmendra had expressed regret about not getting to work with him in more films.

“Anokha Milan…….milap chand lamhon ka…..phir…… zindagi bhar …..kisi film main…..mauqa na mila ……Happy Birthday Dalip Sahab …….love respect (A unique meeting. We met only for a few moments then I never got a chance to work with you again in a film),” Dharmendra wrote.

The 97-year-old Dilip Kumar currently lives with his wife, actor Saira Banu in Mumbai while Dharmendra is enjoying the farm life.
