My grandfather used to tell me stories about how entire villages would gather to watch Dharmendra movies. He truly connected with every generation. The Garam Dharam era is officially over 💔

While I respect the tributes, I wish more attention was given to his early black & white films like Bandini and Satyakam. Those performances showed his incredible range beyond just action roles.

As someone who grew up watching Bollywood films abroad, Dharmendra was one of the first Indian actors I recognized. His charisma transcended borders. Condolences to the Deol family.
