Three days after Dharmendra’s death, his wife, actor-politician Hema Malini took to X to share a note in his memory. Hema penned an emotional note and shared many pictures of Dharmendra and their daughters, Esha and Ahana. She shared that he was her “go to person” and was always with her, “through good times and bad.”
Her note read, “Dharam ji❤️He was many things to me. Loving Husband, adoring Father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, Friend, Philosopher, Guide, Poet, my ‘go to’ person in all times of need – in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been through good times and bad. He endeared himself to all my family members with his easy, friendly ways, always showing affection and interest in all of them.”
She shared that he was humble despite his immense popularity and wrote, “As a public personality, his talent, his humility in spite of his popularity, and his universal appeal set him apart as a unique icon unequalled among all the legends. His enduring fame and achievements in the film industry will last forever.”
Dharam ji❤️
