Salman Khan Gets Emotional Remembering Dharmendra 

Holding back tears, Salman played a clip featuring Dharmendra’s moments on the Bigg Boss set. After the video ended, he was seen in tears as he said, “Jab aap log andar the, we lost our he man. Our most amazing man, Dharmendra ji. I don’t think Dharam ji se better koi aadmi hai. Aur jo unhone life ji hai, king size ji hai, dil khol ke ji hai and 60 saal entertainment diya, Sunny, Bobby diya. And sabse achchi baat hai jab se unhone industry join ki aur abhi tak, bas kaam karna hai. Unhone har tarah ka role kia hai—comedy, action. My career graph has always followed Dharmendra ji. He came with an innocent face and a He-Man’s body. That charm stayed with him till the end. Love you, Dharmji. Will always miss you.”

Salman further praised Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol for holding a dignified funeral and prayer meet for their father. He was heard saying, “The main thing is… he died on 24 November, that’s my father’s birthday, and tomorrow is his birthday, as well as my mum’s. If I’m feeling like this, imagine what Sunny and his family must be going through. There were two funerals conducted with utmost dignity: Sooraj Barjatya’s mother’s and Dharmji’s. They held his prayer meet with so much grace and honour. Everyone was crying, but there was a decorum — a celebration of life. Hats off to Bobby and Sunny. Every funeral and prayer meeting should be conducted this beautifully.”
