Every home had a favourite Dharmendra film. He was a part of our growing up and of Indian cinema’s finest years.

He brought strength, charm and honesty to every role, and carried Punjab’s warmth wherever he went.

Behind the fame was a humble, grounded and deeply human soul.… pic.twitter.com/116K0XHuP5

धर्मेन्द्र जी सिर्फ अभिनेता नहीं थे, एक युग थे।
सादगी में सितारा, ताकत में ही-मैन और दिल में सोना।
उनकी फ़िल्में, उनका अंदाज़ और उनकी गर्मजोशी
पीढ़ियों तक याद रखी जाएगी।
एक महान कलाकार,
ईश्वर उनकी आत्मा को शांति दे। ॐ शांति #Dharmendra pic.twitter.com/fzaBN6kFrP
