Dharmendra’s Bikaner Political Journey: From ‘He-Man’ MP to Retirement
Dharmendra: The ‘He-Man’ MP Who Won Bikaner, Faced ‘Missing’ Posters, and Left Politics Forever
New Delhi:
Bollywood’s legendary ‘He-Man,’ Dharmendra, passed away at the age of 89 on November 24, 2025. While he won hearts across generations with his films, few know about his brief yet intriguing political journey in Rajasthan.
A Glimpse into Dharmendra’s Political Career
Dharmendra began his political journey in Bikaner, Rajasthan, serving as a Member of Parliament for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In 2004, he contested elections from the Bikaner constituency and defeated Congress candidate Rameshwar Lal Dudi by a significant margin. Despite this initial success, Dharmendra chose to distance himself from politics soon after and never contested elections again.
The 2004 Victory in Bikaner
In 2004, Dharmendra entered politics on a BJP ticket and secured a decisive win against Rameshwar Lal Dudi, with a margin of 57,000 votes. His sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, actively campaigned for him, contributing to his landslide victory.
However, the win came with its challenges. Just a year after becoming an MP, ‘Missing’ posters of Dharmendra appeared across Bikaner. This unusual protest reflected his limited presence in the constituency, as the actor reportedly did not visit for an entire year.
Restoring Sursagar and Connecting with the People
Soon after, Dharmendra returned to Bikaner, staying at the Circuit House without security to hear local grievances. He played a pivotal role in restoring the city’s famous Sursagar Lake. Dharmendra liaised with then-Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and approached the central government to secure funding when the state budget fell short. Despite his efforts, credit for the restoration largely went to Raje, leaving some public resentment toward Dharmendra.
Exit from Politics
After completing his five-year term, Dharmendra chose not to contest the 2009 elections and permanently returned to Mumbai. His wife, Hema Malini, continues her political career as an MP from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, and his son, Sunny Deol, also served as an MP from Gurdaspur, Punjab. Dharmendra had once stated that politics was not the right place for him, explaining his decision to step away.
Though his political career was brief, it remains a fascinating chapter in the life of one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars.

Brooklyn Beckham alleges years of control and public humiliation by parents David and Victoria Beckham
Breaking his long silence, Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of football icon David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, has publicly accused his parents of controlling his life, manipulating public narratives, and repeatedly disrespecting his wife, Nicola Peltz. In a series of emotional Instagram stories, Brooklyn made it clear that he no longer seeks reconciliation and instead wants peace, privacy, and distance from his family.
The post marks the most serious and direct statement yet in what has long been rumoured to be a strained relationship between Brooklyn and the Beckham family.
‘I stayed silent for years’
Brooklyn began by explaining that he had deliberately avoided speaking publicly, hoping to resolve matters privately. However, he claimed that continued media leaks and public portrayals by his parents forced him to speak out.
“I don’t want to reconcile. I’ve stood up for myself for the first time,” he wrote, adding that the silence had come at a heavy emotional cost.
He accused his parents of repeatedly taking family matters to the press while portraying a carefully curated image of unity.
‘Brand Beckham over private relationships’
At the core of Brooklyn’s allegations is the claim that public image and brand management were prioritised over genuine family relationships.
“My entire life my parents have controlled the narrative of our family in the press. Staged social media posts, fake relationships, and curated family events have been part of my life,” he said.
According to Brooklyn, distancing himself from the family significantly improved his mental health, reducing years of anxiety.
Wedding controversy revisited
Brooklyn also addressed long-standing rumours surrounding his lavish Palm Beach wedding in 2022, confirming and expanding upon previous speculation.
He alleged that:
- His parents pressured and attempted to bribe him to sign away the rights to his name shortly before the wedding
- Such a move, he claimed, would have impacted his future career and his children
- Victoria Beckham allegedly cancelled Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress at the last moment, forcing her to find an alternative
- “This would have affected my future and my children,” Brooklyn wrote, calling the situation deeply distressing.
‘My mother hijacked our first dance’
One of the most emotionally charged allegations related to the wedding reception itself. Brooklyn claimed that a pre-planned first dance with Nicola was disrupted.
“My mother hijacked my first dance and danced inappropriately with me in front of everyone. I have never felt so humiliated in my life,” he said.
He described the incident as one of the most painful moments he has ever experienced.
2025: The final rupture
Brooklyn said relations deteriorated further in 2025, pointing to a New Year’s post by David Beckham that featured family highlights—but excluded him entirely.
He also alleged that:
- He travelled to London for David Beckham’s 50th birthday
- His father agreed to meet him only if Nicola was excluded
- After being rejected for a week, he felt completely sidelined
Following this, Brooklyn reportedly blocked his parents and siblings on social media in December 2025—something his brother Cruz Beckham later acknowledged publicly.
‘My wife was never accepted’
Brooklyn strongly defended Nicola Peltz, rejecting claims that she controls him.
“This narrative that my wife controls me is completely false. For most of my life, my parents controlled me,” he wrote.
He alleged that Nicola was repeatedly humiliated and made uncomfortable, including claims that Victoria Beckham invited women from Brooklyn’s past to family gatherings.
‘We just want peace’
In his concluding message, Brooklyn made it clear that he does not seek public sympathy or reconciliation.
“My wife and I just want peace, privacy, and a happy life,” he wrote.
“Since I’ve been away from my family, my anxiety has disappeared. I wake up grateful, with peace and relief.”
No response yet from the Beckhams
As of now, David and Victoria Beckham have not issued any official response to Brooklyn’s allegations. Given the gravity of the claims, public attention remains high, and any future statement from the family is likely to be closely scrutinised.
Additional Context (Why this matters)
- The Beckham family has long been viewed as a global celebrity brand, making Brooklyn’s accusations particularly significant
- This is the first time Brooklyn has directly accused his parents of emotional control and manipulation
- The situation highlights ongoing debates around celebrity family dynamics, mental health, and public image pressure
