Amitabh Bachchan's friendship with Dharmendra wasn't just for 'Sholay' bu till date they remain very good friends.
It is said, not only just for the movie but in real life, Big B helped Dharmendra get closer to Hema Malini.
And not just that, Dharmendra and Amitabh had common friends like, Asrani, Amjad Khan, Om Prakash and Pran.
It was just Dharmendra's drinking habits that Big B kept himself away with. They were buddies on sets but Amitabh Bachchan was never his drinking partner.
