Salman Khan became emotional during the Bigg Boss 19 finale after remembering legendary actor Dharmendra.

While hosting the final episode, Salman broke down when an old clip of Dharmendra’s appearance on the show was played.

Salman mentioned that December 8 is Dharmendra’s birthday, which also happens to be his mother’s birthday. He added that Dharmendra passed away on November 24, the same day as his father’s birthday. Sharing his bond with the veteran star, Salman said, “We have lost our He-Man. No one can ever replace him.”

The Hindi film industry continues to mourn the loss of Dharmendra, who passed away on the 24th of last month. He had been dealing with respiratory issues for several days, and his condition worsened on Monday, leading to his death. He was admitted to a Mumbai hospital on October 31 after his health declined.

The news of his demise spread rapidly on social media, after which his wife Hema Malini and son Sunny Deol requested fans not to panic. Despite medical care, Dharmendra took his last breath on November 24.
