the ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’ star expressed her profound sorrow at the legendary actor’s death.
Besides being a movie idol, Divyanka called Dharmendra a very influential figure whose loss will be felt by generations.

Divyanka said that his impact shaped Bollywood’s very structure and that his loss creates a gap that is difficult to fill.
“Dharmendra ji wasn’t just an icon; he was that rare presence who made you feel connected even if you’d never met him,” Divyanka said.
She talked about his golden words of wisdom, his easy demeanour, his magnetism on film, and his grounded character that inspired millions as she considered his unmatched effect. “That has no expiry date,” the TV actress added.
Divyanka added that the late actor’s career was more about the emotional bond he had with fans, coworkers, and future performers than it was about blockbuster hits or iconic roles.
A Quiet End to a Glorious Era
Divyanka’s remarks reflect the fact that Dharmendra’s death marks the end of a significant period in the history of cinema as well as the loss of a renowned performer. The warmth, modesty, and charm of a previous generation of Hindi film heroes seem to have silently gone with him.
“You don’t see many artists who stay so relevant across generations,” she observed. He was a unique phenomenon in the film industry because of his capacity to move audiences, both in the 1960s and now.
“With him gone, it really feels like a chapter of Indian cinema has quietly closed.”
“His legacy isn’t just in his films, it’s in the emotion he brought into people’s homes,” the actress continued. Dharmendra’s warmth, charm, and emotional genuineness in every role made him a part of countless families, living rooms, and memories.
Industry Grieves Alongside Fans
Divyanka’s tribute is a part of a broader public and film industry outpouring of sorrow. Many people, including political figures and other actors, have stated that Dharmendra’s death marks the end of an era of great Indian film.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that Dharmendra was a “phenomenal actor” whose death signifies the end of an era. Other celebrities, such as Priyanka Chopra, Rajinikanth, and Karan Johar, have shared heartfelt recollections, praising his kindness, generosity, and unparalleled on-screen persona.
