Sunita Ahuja mourns the demise of Dharmendra



Mourning the demise of the legendary Sunita Ahuja exclusively shared about her last meeting with Dharmendra. She also revealed how he had been her childhood crush, "I was very sad; he was my childhood crush. The last time we met was when I had visited him during Ganesh Chaturthi. Esha Deol had hosted us at their home, and my son Yash and I went there. We met Dharmendra ji and Hema ji there. 2 years back, we had even shared a stage, and I had danced with Dharamji at a reality show. My heart goes out to the family, and my deepest condolences to them. Dharamji was a legend, and the industry will surely remember him fondly. Matarani unki aatma ko shaanti de." 

Govinda had visited Dharmendra at the hospital, as well as now he has arrived at the crematorium to pay his last respects to the legendary actor.
