Over five decades in the film industry and still going strong. Dharmendra has just had a new release but admits to being media shy and is clearly uncomfortable in the movie world of today where good films suffer because they are not promoted and where everything is commodified.

When celebrities are looking for extra media mileage, the veteran actor, whose "Tell Me O Kkhuda" released Friday, says he is not game for too much exposure.

"They (people) call me media shy: I am media shy because I don't want so much exposure. We make films, they work and people like them, that's enough for me. I try to maintain my privacy; that's why we don't make so many public appearances," Dharmendra told IANS in an interview. His sons Sunny and Bobby Deol too avoid the limelight.
