Salman Khan and Dharmendra’s bond
Dharmendra’s demise in November 2025 sent shock waves across the nation. Salman Khan, for whom Dharmendra was like a father figure, was among the first ones to arrive during his last rites. Remembering the late actor and honoring him during the ‘Bigg Boss 19’ finale, Salman poured out his heart. With tears in his eyes and grief in his heart, he said, “We lost the He-Man. We lost the most amazing man. I don’t think there is anyone better than Dharmji. The way he lived life was king-size. He gave us Sunny, Bobby, and Esha. Since the day he joined the industry, he only wanted to work. He did so many roles. The career graph I have only followed Dharmji. 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.”
