Mumbai, Feb 26

The couple will be seen paying a musical tribute to the late actor, who passed away on November 24, 2026.

My mission is to present the history of Indian music through Dharmendra Ji's discography in the most beautiful way to match its legacy".

Dharmendra Ji's journey was filled with roles that came to life because of his authenticity, from laughter that lit up the screen to silences that spoke deeper than any dialogue. What made him unforgettable was not just his talent, but the soul of his presence, a blend of courage, love, and grounding humility. This tribute and legacy will remind us that even in loss, the art remains. To everyone who grew up watching him, and to those discovering his work anew, this tribute will stand as a testament to the fact that legends don't fade, they will continue to live on in every note, every frame, and every story told with heart.

I'm so glad they are doing this. His songs with Laxmikant-Pyarelal are the soundtrack of my parents' youth. "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai" from *Anpadh* still makes me cry. Hope they include some of the lesser-known gems along with the big hits.

Respectfully, while the tribute is a nice idea, I hope it's not just another glamorized award show segment. Dharmendra ji's legacy deserves depth and authenticity, not just a medley of songs with flashy lights. Mithoon is talented, so I have hope.

As someone relatively new to classic Hindi cinema, this is wonderful. Articles like this and tributes help bridge the gap between generations. I've started watching some of his films on streaming, and his screen presence is magnetic. Looking forward to discovering his music through this.

He was the original "He-Man"! But beyond the action, he had such a gentle soul in his romantic roles. The article is right—his silence spoke volumes. A musical tribute is the perfect way to honour him. Jai ho, Dharmendra ji! 🙏

My mother is his biggest fan. She has all his film magazines from the 70s. We will definitely be watching the Zee Cine Awards together. It's heartwarming to see his work being celebrated for new audiences. True legends never fade.
