Ke dil abhi bhara nahi.”

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari spoke to the media and said: “Dharmendra was not just a good actor but also a good and simple human being. I had a personal connection with him. He was committed to the country and the farmers. His work in films cannot be forgotten. The film industry has suffered a huge loss with his passing away. He used to come and meet me. I have good relations with his sons and Hema Malini ji.”
