Dharmendra's death in November 2025 left the industry in grief.
Remembering him during the Bigg Boss 19 finale, Salman 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. The 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."
Dharmendra died on November 24 at the age of 89.
