It's heartwarming to see how Esha carries her father's words with her. That kind of parental support is precious. Also interesting to see her involved in luxury villa design — shows creativity runs in the family beyond just films. Respect for maintaining that connection with her dad's memory.

Dharmendra sahab was the ultimate 'He-Man' of Bollywood but reading this, you realize he was also a soft-hearted dad. That phrase "Lage raho, bete" is so desi and full of warmth. Wish they had more time together, but at least Esha has these golden memories. 🙏

Honestly, while this is a sweet anecdote, I wish the article focused more on Dharmendra's cinematic legacy rather than a real estate collaboration. It feels slightly commercialized. But I respect Esha's personal tribute — those father-daughter moments are truly special.

I didn't know Dharmendra was into design and landscapes. That adds a whole new dimension to his personality. 'Lage raho, bete' is such an encouraging phrase — I think all parents should say this to their kids. It's simple but powerful. Rest in peace to a legend.

This made me emotional. Losing a parent is never easy, and the fact that Esha still carries his words so close to her heart is beautiful. Dharmendra ji was a true icon — from 'Sholay' to being a guiding light for his family. His legacy will never fade. 🕊️
