Salman Khan Breaks Down Remembering Dharmendra at Bigg Boss 19 Finale, Praises Sunny and Bobby Deol’s Graceful Farewell
The Bigg Boss 19 grand finale took an emotional turn as Salman Khan paid tribute to legendary actor Dharmendra , who passed away on November 24 at the age of 89. The veteran star had appeared multiple times on the show, making the moment even more personal for Salman.
During the finale, a special clip revisited Dharmendra’s memorable moments on the Bigg Boss stage. As the video ended, a visibly emotional Salman struggled to hold back tears and said,“We lost the He-Man. We lost the most amazing man. I don't think there is anyone better than Dharmji. The way he lived life was king-size. He gave us Sunny, Bobby and Esha. Since the day he joined the industry, he only wanted to work. He did so many roles. My career graph… I have only followed Dharmji. He came with an innocent face and a He-Man’s body. That charm stayed with him till the end. Love you, Dharmji. Will always miss you.”
Salman also spoke about the massive outpouring of love Dharmendra received online, calling it the first time he had seen fans express such overwhelming emotion on social media. Growing more emotional, he added,“The main thing is… he died on 24 November, that’s my father’s birthday, and tomorrow is his birthday, as well as my mum’s. If I’m feeling like this, imagine what Sunny and his family must be going through. There were two funerals conducted with utmost dignity: Sooraj Barjatya’s mother’s and Dharmji’s. They held his prayer meet with so much grace and honour. Everyone was crying, but there was a decorum =-a celebration of life. Hats off to Bobby and Sunny. Every funeral and prayer meeting should be conducted this beautifully.”

Dharmendra had been hospitalised earlier in November, leading to false rumours about his death, which were dismissed by his wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol. He later returned home but passed away on November 24. His funeral was attended by several Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
The iconic actor is survived by his wives, Hema Malini and Prakash Kaur, and his six children. His legacy, as Salman’s tribute showed, will continue to live on in Indian cinema and in the hearts of millions.
