MP Shatrughan mourns Dharmendra's demise

Shatrughan Sinha, MP, Asansol expressed his 'unbearable' shock with the demise of veteran Bollywood star Dharmendra last night.

Dharmendra's friend and fellow star Shatrughan penned an emotional note for the late actor.

The actor took a trip down the memory lane and shared a few glimpses with Dharmendra, including a still from their on-screen appearance together, another taken at an award ceremony, and other unseen photos featuring the veteran actors.

On his X handle, Bihari Babu shared: “Heartbroken, pained & deeply saddened by the passing away of our dearest family friend, our elder brother, people’s hero, @aapkadharm." He continued saying, “The most loved son of the soil, pride of Punjab/Maharashtra, a ‘Bharat Ratna’ in the true sense, down-to-earth, kind & a humble human being. He will be remembered forever for his great contributions to the film industry/cinema."

On X, he further stated: "A personality in totality, an era of ‘He Man/Star’, has gone. My first ‘Hero’ & people’s ‘Hero’ in the film industry is no more. It is an irreparable & irreplaceable loss to all of us & the entire film industry. Strength to the family, friends, well-wishers & fans in these traumatic times. Om Shanti."

Way back in 2022, at a show together with Dharmendra, Sinha stated affectionately: "I am very fond of Dharmendra and also Hema. The three of us did one of our best film together. And that was Dulal Guha’s Dost." He also shared: “We don’t get to meet as often as we’d like to. But whenever we do it is an evening of great conversation, food and music," adding: “Do you know Dharmendra writes beautiful poetry, and that too in Urdu? He must publish his poems. They are so amazing.”
