Ibrahim took to Instagram to share a farewell message for Dharmendra, crediting him for his existence in the film world. He shared a picture from the sets of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, along with nostalgic throwback photos of a young Dharmendra, celebrating his legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people aren\u2019t just stars on screen, they change the course of lives. Dharam Ji discovered my mother in Delhi when she was only 16, and trusted her with her first film Betaab. If it wasn\u2019t for him, she may never have left Delhi\u2026 and we might not even exist,\u201d Ibrahim wrote.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s overwhelming to think that our entire journey, our family, our place in this industry, all of it ,began because of him. A man whose kindness shaped destinies. Dharam Ji, you were devilishly handsome, effortlessly charming and truly timeless. Thank you for the wisdom you shared with me, I will hold onto your words for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart goes out to the entire Deol family, May they find strength through this difficult time. Rest in peace, sir. You will live on forever,\u201d Ibrahim added.<\/p>\n
