Politics, puran poli and humility of Dharmendra

CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: (Nov 25) In the heart of Maharashtra, where the golden crust of 'puran poli' carries the fragrance of home and tradition, memories of Dharmendra linger - rich and timeless, much like the delicacy he adored.

The legendary “He-Man of Bollywood,” whose screen presence was as robust as his off-screen humility, had a weakness for the sweet, ghee-soaked delicacy.

And it was this very love for 'puran poli' that once became the centrepiece of a political drama—an orchestrated delay that revealed not only the actor’s love for the delicacy but also his grace in the face of the circumstances.
