During the episode, an emotional Salman remembered the late legendary actor Dharmendra, who passed away on 24 November this year.
Salman was heard saying, “He (Dharmendra) passed on my father’s birthday and celebrates his birthday with my mother. God bless you, Dharamji. If I am feeling like this, what would Sunny, Bobby aur unka parivar be feeling.”
“Two funerals that were best conducted ever. One was Sooraj Barjatya’s mother and the second was Dharamji’s. How well they conducted the prayer meet. So much dignity. Ek decorum hona chahiye, celebration hona chahiye. Every ceremony, every funeral should be conducted in such a dignified manner,” he added. ‘Bigg Boss 19’: Gaurav Khanna Emotional As Media Asks About Wife’s Choice Not To Have Children (Watch Video).
