Veteran actor Dharmendra Deol, who made his debut in the Indian cinema in the 1960s and played prominent roles in stories representing common people in films, and who won the hearts of the Indian audience and created his own identity in the world of cinema, finally lost his battle with death. Today’s youth may not know it, but a generation was a fan of his charm, his hairstyle, and his costumes. The ‘Veeru’ he played in ‘Sholay’ still dominates the hearts of Indian fans as a symbol of close friendship and a tough hero.
Many times, his hilarious scenes on the water tank in ‘Sholay’ are still adopted as a movement by enthusiastic activists in our political field. The roles played by Dharmendra in about 250 famous works like ‘Dharam Veer’, ‘Chupke Chupke’, ‘Satyakam’, ‘Anupama’, ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ and ‘Dream Girl’ will always be remembered. We pay heartfelt tribute to the ‘Dharam Paji’ of the cinema industry and express our condolences to the Deol family.
