One such example of this is Dharmendra aka the He-Man of Bollywood.

Dharmendras Humble Beginnings Dharmendra began his Bollywood career in 1960 at the age of 25 with the film Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere.

It was around this time that he bought his first car a Fiat which would later become a cherished part of his life. How much did Dharmendra pay for his first car? In a nostalgic Instagram post shared on 11 October 2021 the actor introduced fans to his first car calling it “meri pyari bacchi” (my beloved child). Dharmendra revealed “Doston Fiat meri pehli car thi… ek struggler ke liye Ishwar ka bada aashirwad.” In a video message he added with a smile “Namaskar doston yeh meri pehli car hai. Maine ise sirf 18000 rupaye mein kharida tha. Un dino 18 hazaar rupaye bahut badi baat thi.” The actor’s affection was evident as he urged fans to pray that the car “hamesha mere saath rahe.” From Fiat to Mercedes Over the decades Dharmendra’s garage has transformed from a humble Fiat to a fleet of luxury cars. His impressive collection includes Audi A8 Porsche Cayenne Mercedes-Benz S-Class Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes SL500. Today with a net worth of approximately Rs 450 crore the veteran actor enjoys a lavish lifestyle but remains grounded in his roots.
