Mumbai, Nov 28

Bollywood actor Jaideep Ahlawat is thrilled to be sharing the same screen space with the late superstar Dharmendra in his upcoming movie 'Ikkis'.

Talking to IANS, the actor elaborated on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of working with Dharmendra. “To stand with him in the same frame on screen is something that deserves to be recorded in history. It's a historic moment in my life that I got to do even one film with a legend like Dharmendra, despite not belonging to his era. This is a very big thing for me.”

He added, “I wish I had done five or ten more films with him, but now he is no more.” The actor further said, “Whatever I have said about him comes from such an amazing experience that I don’t even need to say anything more. He was mine, and he will always remain with me. The love he gave me will stay with me forever! The whole country will miss him.”

For the uninitiated, Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89. The entire nation, especially the Bollywood industry, was seen mourning his loss. Actor Jaideep Ahlawat on November 24 had taken to his social media account to share an emotional tribute to the late actor.

Sharing a picture that featured both himself and the late superstar, Jaideep wrote, “Kuch nahi hai aisa jo keh paaunga. Bas itna ki aapne jo pyar diya mujhe unn thode se dino main. Main woh Umar Bhar yaad rakhunga, Sir. Aap bahut yaad aayenge. (There’s nothing I can really say. Just this much – the love you gave me in these few days, I will remember it for a lifetime, Sir. You will be deeply missed," he wrote in the caption.

He further added, “This world will miss the one and only Jatt Yamla Pagla Deewana. RIP Dharam ji @aapkadharam." Dharmendra, for the uninitiated, around mid-November was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital.

On November 27, the Deol family had organised a prayer meet to celebrate Dharmendra and his legacy. It was attended by the who's who of Bollywood.

Dharmendra was truly the original action hero of Bollywood! From Sholay to Chupke Chupke, his versatility was unmatched. Jaideep is right - sharing screen space with such a legend is indeed historic. The industry has lost a gem 💔

While I appreciate Jaideep's sentiments, I wish we had more appreciation for living legends while they're with us. We tend to realize their worth only after they're gone. Still, beautiful tribute from one actor to another.

As someone relatively new to Bollywood, this article made me curious about Dharmendra's work. Just watched some clips of his movies - the man had incredible screen presence! Jaideep's emotional tribute speaks volumes about the impact Dharmendra had on fellow actors.

My grandfather used to tell me stories about how entire villages would gather to watch Dharmendra's films in the 70s. He was more than an actor - he was an emotion for generations of Indians. Jaideep's words capture that sentiment perfectly 🌟

The cross-generational respect in Indian cinema is remarkable. In Hollywood, we rarely see such heartfelt tributes from younger actors to veterans. Jaideep's humility and Dharmendra's legacy - both are inspiring!
