'A Dharmendra sized hole impossible to fill': Naseeruddin Shah pays tribute to his 'Ghulami' co-star

Sharing the poster of the 1985 J P Dutta movie, Shah wrote on Instagram, 'A Dharmendra sized hole is impossible to fill. I treasure the affection I received from him.'

Mumbai: Not everyone can claim a thoroughly deserved stardom of 60 years, Naseeruddin Shah said on Tuesday as he remembered Dharmendra, his co-star in Ghulami and two other movies.

Dharmendra died on Monday at the age of 89.

Sharing the poster of the 1985 J P Dutta movie, Shah wrote on Instagram, "This was the first time I met the great man himself, I was privileged to work with him on two other projects besides this one. A Dharmendra sized hole is impossible to fill. I treasure the affection I received from him. Not everyone can claim a 60 year long thoroughly deserved stardom. May he rest in eternal peace. Aameen."

Shah and Dharmendra also worked on the 1992 film Tahalka and the 2023 historic drama series Taj: Divided by Blood.
