The nation, including the Bollywood fraternity, is engulfed in grief following the tragic demise of superstar Dharmendra on November 24.
Ajay Devgn Offers Condolences
On the afternoon of November 25, superstar Ajay Devgn visited the Deol family at Dharmendra’s residence in Mumbai to offer his condolences.
Earlier, when news of Dharmendra’s passing spread, Ajay expressed his sorrow on social media. He wrote, “Heartbroken to hear about Dharam ji. His warmth, generosity and presence inspired generations of artists. The industry has lost a legend… and we’ve lost someone who shaped the very soul of our cinema. Rest in peace, Dharam ji. Om Shanti,” accompanied by a folding hands emoticon.
Kajol’s Heartfelt Tribute
On the evening of November 24, Ajay Devgn’s wife and Bollywood star Kajol was among the first celebrities to visit the Deol family. Earlier that day, she shared an emotional message bidding farewell to the late superstar. Posting a cherished picture of her son Yug sitting on Dharmendra’s lap, she wrote, “The OG of the Good Man is gone, and the world is poorer for it… Somehow it seems like we are only losing the good people in it. Kind to the core and loved always. RIP Dharamji …with love always.”
For those unaware, Kajol and Dharmendra collaborated in the 1998 blockbuster Jab Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, where he portrayed her uncle and guardian. They also worked together in the 1995 film Taaqat.
