Days before turning 90, veteran actor Dharmendra tragically passed away at the age of 89. His passing has created a gap in the film business, and the family must be suffering through unspeakable hardships. Bobby Deol, his passionate son, once discussed Dharmendra in a podcast.
Bobby became sad when Raj Shamani asked him about his father. “My dad is a beautiful soul, and I want all my kids to have that beautiful soul,” he stated, adding that no one is like Dharmendra. It’s terrible that I can’t even think of one trait that my dad possesses. I believe that no one compares to my dad. I wish my children to emulate him in every way. I simply have that feeling.
“He is just amazing, and I guess I get really emotional because he is getting older now, and I wish my parents could live on forever and ever, so yeah,” the actor said in response to a question about why he feels that way.
