Their chemistry, especially seen in films like Sholay, translated into a lifelong friendship built on respect, laughter, and countless memories. Amitabh Bachchan, who attended Dharmendra’s funeral with tears in his eyes, had earlier expressed his grief through a heartfelt note on X. In that emotional message, he wrote, “Another brave legend has left us… a silence that is becoming increasingly difficult to bear. Dharam ji was an epitome of greatness, known not only for his famous stature but also for his large heart and simplicity.”
