What Esha Posted on Dharmendra's 90th Birthday
Dharmendra died just two weeks before his 90th birthday celebrations.
Esha Deol shared happy pictures of Dharmendra, accompanying him in a couple of them.
She began her note with these words: "To my darling Papa, Our pact, the strongest bond, unites us through all our lifetimes, all the realms, and beyond. We are always together, papa. Be it heaven or earth, we are one. For now, I have very tenderly, carefully, and preciously tucked you in my heart... deep, deep inside to carry on with me for the rest of this lifetime."
"The magical precious memories... the life lessons, the teachings, the guidance, the warmth, the unconditional love, the dignity, and the strength you have given me as your daughter cannot be replaced or matched by any other. I so painfully miss you, papa... your warm protective hugs that felt like the coziest blanket, holding your soft yet strong hands which had unspoken messages, and your voice calling out my name, followed by endless conversations, laughter, and shayaris." She continued with his motto: "Always be humble, be happy, healthy & strong."
"I promise to continue your legacy with pride and respect. And I will try my best to spread your love to the millions who love you as I do. I love you, papa. Your darling daughter, Your Esha, Your Bittu," Esha signed off.
