“Another valiant Giant has left us.. left the arena.. leaving behind a silence with an unbearable sound.. Dharam ji…. the epitome of greatness, ever linked not only for his renowned physical presence, but for the largeness of his heart, and its most endearing simplicity.. .. he brought with him the earthiness of the village in Punjab he came from, and remained true to its temperament.. un soiled throughout his glorious career, in a fraternity that witnessed changes every decade.. … the fraternity underwent changes .. not him,” he wrote.
Big B, while remembering Dharmendra’s “smile, charm and warmth,” shared how his passing has left an empty void.
