The Hindi film industry is in mourning following the demise of legendary actor Dharmendra, who passed away at the age of 89 on 24 November 2025 after battling health issues. Among the many grieving friends and colleagues is Amitabh Bachchan, who shared a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter) roughly 36 hours after the veteran actor’s death, capturing the deep void left behind.
Amitabh’s post, marked simply as ‘T 5576 –’, was left empty, reflecting a profound silence that words could not convey. Fans immediately recognized the grief and responded with empathy, calling it “the calm before the storm” and appreciating the unspoken pain of losing a close friend. Many shared iconic Sholay stills, highlighting the emptiness left by Dharmendra’s absence.
A Tribute to a Legendary Friend
In a subsequent heartfelt post, Amitabh wrote: “Another brave legend has left us. He has departed from the stage, leaving behind a silence that is difficult to bear. Dharmendra ji was a symbol of greatness—not just for his iconic presence, but for his immense heart and humility.”
He added: “He carried with him the fragrance of the soil from his Punjab village and remained true to his nature throughout his illustrious career. Changes came to the film industry, but he never changed. His smile, charm, and warmth touched everyone around him. The atmosphere between us now feels empty—a void that will remain forever. My prayers.”
Dharmendra’s passing has left an irreplaceable gap in both the hearts of his loved ones and the entire film fraternity, and Amitabh’s moving tribute has deeply resonated with fans across the world.
