“I had gone to their home just five or six days ago, right after he was brought back from the hospital. They had set up an ICU-like arrangement inside the house itself. I knew I wouldn’t be able to meet him properly, but I still felt it was important to go,” Mukesh said.
The Shaktimaan actor further shared about meeting Sunny and Bobby Deol during this visit. “I told them, ‘He is very strong. He will come out of this... he will get through this problem.’ But in the end, whatever God wills is what happens. People were shocked because everyone believed he was strong enough to recover. His body gave up, but the soul moves on. And he had a beautiful soul.”
Mukesh also talked about his many memories with Dharmendra, particularly when they were working on Tahalka. He mentioned Dharmendra's simplicity and humility as his strongest characteristics. Even in his latter months, when he wasn't feeling well, Mukesh noticed that his face radiated enthusiasm.
