Esha Deol posts emotional tribute for father
On Thursday, Esha shared a touching video on Instagram, featuring a montage of memorable moments from Dharmendra’s illustrious film career. The tribute also included a rare clip of the legendary Dilip Kumar praising Dharmendra at an award ceremony.
Beyond highlights from his film career, Esha’s tribute offered a heartfelt glimpse into Dharmendra’s personal life. It featured rare family photographs, including moments with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, and their children Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta, and Ajeeta Deol. The video also captured touching memories of Esha with her father and mother Hema Malini and Dharmendra sharing the screen with his sons.

The tribute concluded with Dharmendra’s final on-screen appearance in the upcoming film Ikkis, accompanied by his voiceover reflecting on the fragile nature of life.
"Zindagi bilkul in barf ki resho ki tarah hi toh hai, pal bher ke liye teharti hai aur pighal jaati hai. Par kambhakt jitni der rehti hai badi khubsurat lagti hai magar, ise her jana hi toh hai,” he is heard saying.
Esha posted the video without any caption and turned off comments while posting the video.
