This special report features poet and screenwriter Javed Akhtar reflecting on the life and legacy of actor Dharmendra following his passing on November 24, 2025. Akhtar discusses Dharmendra’s unique combination of masculinity and gentleness, his humility despite his stardom, and his versatile acting career, including iconic roles in films like Sholay, Anupama, and Chupke Chupke. Javed Akhtar states, ‘I can’t think of many people who got so much love from film industry which is a cutthroat competitive line where somebody can be so lovable and loved by everybody’.
