Dharmendra Death: The news of demise of veteran actor Dharmendra came left many in a state of shock. Three days after his demise, wife and veteran actor Hema Malini took to X to share her first reaction remembering him. Dharmendra breathed his last on November 24 in Mumbai. He was 89. On Thursday, November 27, Hema put out an emotional tribute on social media, and said he was "many things" to her. In her heartfelt note, Hema posted, “Dharam ji (heart emoji) He was many things to me. Loving husband, adoring father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, friend, philosopher, guide, poet, my ‘go to’ person in all times of need – in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been through good times and bad (sic).'
Hema Malini was quick to refer to the loss as 'indescribable'. "My personal loss is indescribable and the vacuum created is something that will last through the rest of my life. After years of togetherness, I am left with myriad memories to relive the many special moments," she added.
