He wrote, "THE KINDEST MAN EVER: Dharamji was undoubtedly the warmest and kindest man in the Indian Film Industry! He was the epitome of goodness. He was called a HEMAN but undoubtedly with the softest and most generous heart. His large heartedness was legendary! He was a fantastic actor with an amazing range of emotions! But when people talk more about a person's wonderful nature than his acting, then that means the person will become folklore in the coming years! We will miss you Dharam Ji! You will always remain the BESTEST! Om Shanti!" wrote Anupam Kher.
