Dharmendra is currently resting and recovering at his home after being discharged from Breach Candy Hospital a few days ago. Even today, he isn’t admired only for his acting—his charm, warmth and magnetic screen presence have made him a beloved figure across generations. Among his countless memorable moments, fans still fondly remember his delightful cameo in Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om, especially in the star-studded song Deewangi Deewangi.
The 2007 track remains iconic for its grand celebration of the film industry, bringing together some of Bollywood’s biggest names. Recently, Farah Khan revisited a touching and spontaneous memory from the shoot—one that turned Dharmendra’s brief appearance into something truly unforgettable.
Farah explained that Salman Khan had finished his shot early in the day, while Dharmendra’s part was scheduled for the evening. Instead of heading home, Salman chose to wait for nearly four hours just so he could watch the veteran actor dance. Farah recalled how genuinely excited he was, saying that he waited in Shah Rukh Khan’s van simply because he wanted to witness Dharam ji’s performance in person. No obligations, no formalities, just pure admiration.
This excitement eventually spilled over onto the set. Farah revealed that the moment where Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan suddenly join Dharmendra in the frame was never planned. They had been watching from behind the camera, and in the joy of the moment, they jumped straight into the shot. She even laughed while remembering Saif’s expression, saying he looked completely baffled and seemed to be thinking, “What’s happening here?”
Meanwhile, Dharmendra continues recovering at home after spending several days in the hospital. The Deol family released a statement after his discharge, expressing gratitude for the love and prayers coming his way. They requested everyone to respect his privacy as he heals, reassuring fans that he is recovering steadily and deeply values the affection he receives from the public.
As the veteran actor rests, stories like this one remind us of the warmth he brings—not just to the screen but to everyone around him.
