Dharmendra did this just because he was in love with Hema Malini and enjoyed hugging her on the sets of Sholay. Interestingly, the actor had even created a code so that the spot boys knew what to do when he does something.
If the actor pulls his ear that means it was a signal for light boys and they have to make goof-ups with trolley movement or they should drop a reflector and if he touches his nose that means the shot was okay. The unit played out according to the actor and Hema was indeed amazed.
