On Valentine’s Day, Dalip Tahil surprised his followers with an amusing apology. The veteran actor jokingly called himself the ‘most reliable enemy’ of love, alluding to the films in which he has acted as an antagonist. He has acted in several commercially successful movies like, Baazigar, Ishq, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, and Kaho Na…Pyaar Hain.
He started the post with a tongue-in-cheek serious note, “On Valentine's Day, I, Dalip Tahil, sincerely apologize to love for being its most reliable enemy. For decades, whenever romance bloomed, I arrived in a blazer and said, ‘Yeh rishta mujhe manzoor nahi.’ I stopped weddings (jumped the gun sometimes), checked bank balances, wrote blank cheques and protected khandaan ki so called izzat like it was a nuclear code.”
The comment section is full of fun, cheeky and quirky comments. The famous actress Richa Chadha commented, “Oh there may be goons yo. Happy Matr Pitr Poojan diwas❤️.” Another person jokingly said, “Sir, please write me a blank cheque. I will leave any boy of your choosing.” Another person commented, “The D in Dalip Tahil stands for "Daddy" 😗👍.” One user even praised Dalip Tahil’s marketing team saying, “Your marketing team deserves a raise 👏❤️”
The answer lies in his legendary filmography. Dalip Tahil has spent his career playing the quintessential ‘bad guy’, such as disapproving fathers, manipulative businessmen, or polished villains. Many of the his roles have directly interfered with love stories, thus making him a direct cinematic obstacle to romance. But his character has always been suave yet intimidating.
The phrase 'Yeh rishta mujhe manzoor nahi' has become a cultural reference point, thanks to Dalip Tahil. The actor’s body of work, spanning more than 40 years, includes everything from major roles in Hindi films to television shows, as well as international work.
