“Another valiant Giant has left us left the arena leaving behind a silence with an unbearable sound. Dharam ji the epitome of greatness, ever linked not only for his renowned physical presence, but for the largeness of his heart and its most endearing simplicity. His smile, his charm and his warmth, extending to all that came in his vicinity a rarity in the profession."

"Rest in Peace, Dharam ji. You were nothing short of a father figure to me thank u for showering me with blessings and love the way you did. An inconsolable and irreplaceable loss to not just his family, but to cinema and film lovers world over. You are immortal and your soul will live through your films and your beautiful family forever."
