Shatrughan Sinha Responds to False Reports About Dharmendra’s Death
Shatrughan Sinha has expressed his outrage following widespread media reports claiming that his dear friend Dharmendra has passed away. “I woke up to these reports and assumed them to be true as they came from reliable portals and publications. To my shock and relief, the reports were untrue. Everyone’s favourite Dharamji is doing well and will soon be home. Marey unke dushman,” he said emphatically.
Questioning the source of such misinformation, Shatrughan Sinha wondered, “Dharamji doesn’t have a team. So which ‘team’ confirmed his death news? This is all very distasteful.”
A Friendship Spanning Four Decades
Shatrughan and Dharmendra share a close bond that has lasted over forty years. “I am very fond of Dharmendra and also Hema (Malini). The three of us did one of our best films together, and that was Dulal Guha’s Dost,” Shatrughan recalled fondly.
Although they don’t get to meet as often as they would like, Shatrughan says their get-togethers are always memorable. “Whenever we do meet, it is an evening of great conversation, food, and music.”
Celebrating Dharmendra’s Talents
Shatrughan highlighted Dharmendra’s many talents beyond acting. “Did you know Dharmendra writes beautiful poetry, and that too in Urdu? He must publish his poems. They are amazing.”
Reflecting on their professional collaboration, Shatrughan said, “We’ve done other films together like Loha, Insaaniyat Ke Dushman, and Zalzala. We would have also done Sholay together, but fate willed it otherwise.”
Praising his friend’s nature, he added, “It is always a pleasure to work with an actor who has no feeling of one-upmanship. Dharmendra is a very confident man and artiste. He has never coveted other actors’ roles, never indulged in competitive games. There is not a malicious bone in that rugged body.”
Looking Ahead: The Legacy Continues
Shatrughan concluded by wishing Dharmendra good health and longevity. “I wish my friend many, many more years of a healthy life. He has so much to be proud of. Now his grandsons are also actors. That’s three generations of the Deols in our film industry. That is not a small achievement.”
