Sunny Deol posted a video from one of his throwback trips to a hill station with Dharmendra. In the video, the Sholay actor was heard saying that he was thoroughly enjoying himself. In the caption, the Border 2 actor wrote in Hindi, “Aaj mere papa ka janamdin hain. Papa hamesha mere saath hain, mere andar hain. Love you papa. Miss you.” In the comment section, he further wrote, “Miss you always always.”
Bobby Deol posted a photo with Dharmendra and penned a beautiful note. “Mere Pyaare Papa aur Hamare Pyaare Dharam, Aapki soch main yeh likh raha hoon. Duniya mein itna pyaar nahi jitna aapne hum sabhi ko diya.
Har muskurahat, har tapakte aansoo mein saath nibhaya, Har mushkil mein haath badhaya. Us tarah jis tarah sirf hum sab ke Dharam kar sakte the. Aap star banne toh sabko saath leke haath thaam ke aage badhe,
Kisi ka haath nahi chhoda. Aapke humare Punjab ke Dango ka, Sahnewal ka, Bharat ka jhanda garv se lehraya. He-Man ho aap sab ke, Lekin bachpan se hi aap mere hero ho. Aap hi se humne sapne dekhna seekha, Aap hi se humne atmvishwas karna seekha, Aapke sanskaar se hum Deol banne. Dil ho to aapke jaisa, Junoon ho to aapke jaisa, Pyaar karo to aapke jaisa, Insaan bano to aapke jaisa. Papa ho aap mere, Lekin Dharam ho aap hum sab ke. Proud to be yours. Happy Birthday, my precious Papa. Love you forever and always,” it read.

Karan Deol, Sunny Deol’s elder son, penned a note addressing his “Bade Papa”. He was the one to collect his grandfather’s ashes at the Vile Parle crematorium and immerse them in the Ganges in Varanasi. “I grew up watching you, how you carried yourself, how you treated people, how you stayed grounded no matter what life threw at you. Everything I try to be today… a calmer mind, a kinder heart, a stronger person… it all comes from you. Your hugs gave me warmth, that quiet reassurance. You made everything feel okay without even saying a word. I miss that more than I can explain. There will never be anyone like you, Bade Papa. Thank you for shaping me in ways I understood only when I grew up. Thank you for loving me the way only you could. I carry you with me every day. I love you. And I miss you, always. Happy Birthday!”, he wrote.
Abhay Deol posted a throwback photo with Dharmendra, his uncle, and wrote, “Must’ve been 1985 or ‘86. I had just been scolded so I was upset. He called me to him, sat me down by his side and said, “look at the light”, and had the photographer click this pic. I look forward to the moment I hear him say those words to me again, when my time comes. Today was his birthday.”
Dharmendra’s last film, Ikkis, will be released posthumously on December 25.
