“Mere pyaare Papa aur hum sabke Dharam… duniya mein utna pyaar nahi jitna aapne hum sabko diya. Har muskurahat, har aansoo, har mushkil mein saath nibhaya… Aap sabka haath pakad kar aage badhe, kabhi kisi ka haath chhoda nahi. Punjab, Sahnewal, aur Bharat ka jhanda garv se lehraya. Aap hum sab ke He-Man ho, lekin bachpan se aap mere hero ho… Aap hi se humne sapne dekhna, atmvishwas aur sanskaar sikhe. Dil ho to aapke jaisa, junoon ho to aapke jaisa, pyaar karo to aapke jaisa… Papa ho aap mere, lekin Dharam ho aap hum sabke. Proud to be yours. Happy Birthday, my precious Papa.”

The industry and fans joined in the celebrations as social media overflowed with love for the veteran star. Sunny Deol, Karan Deol, Rajveer Deol, Hema Malini, and Esha Deol also shared warm birthday messages, honouring Dharmendra’s legacy and the special role he continues to play in their lives.
