UNI/XINHUA PRT。 Aamir Khan recently remembered late actor Dharmendra and called him underrated, despite his mastery over different genres. Speaking at the International Film Festival of India, the actor said, "Well, I've grown up watching him. He was known as the action hero and the He-man. And of course, he was extremely good in portraying these strong characters in action films. But I don't know whether people have really noticed, I think he's underrated."
Khan continued, "His performances in romance or different genres are so great. He's done so well in comedy. My God, he's done amazing comedy, romance, and dramas. According to me, Dharamji was right up there... And what a handsome person."
The actor also expressed his regret over not being able to attend Dharmendra's prayer meet which took place on November 27.
For the uninitiated, Aamir Khan never shared the screen with Dharmendra, but he appeared as a child actor in the film Yaadon Ki Baarat, which starred Dharmendra, Vijay Arora, Tariq Khan and Zeenat Aman among others. Khan also produced Sunny Deol's yet-unreleased film Lahore 1947. The actor revealed that they had the chance to show Dharmendra the film.
"In fact, 'Lahore', the film we've made with Sunny. I had the good fortune of showing him the film, so he's seen the film. It's not released yet, of course, but I was so glad, because this was one of his favourite scripts. So, I'm so glad he got to see the film."
The Lagaan actor further called Dharmendra a great actor and a gentle giant and continued, "Dharamji was not only a fine actor, but he was a great human being. He was so gentle. He was like a gentle giant, and he was very loving no matter who he would meet... He was a great actor, and it's a great loss for all of us. He's really an institution. He had such a command over his language. Unki zubaan itni saaf thi... It was so soft that it was amazing to hear him, even in live events when he would speak... I remember, I was there at the book launch for Yusuf Saab , and there he spoke. He spoke with such dignity. Really, it's a big loss for all of us. I'm fortunate I got to spend some time with him."
The legendary actor Dharmendra passed away at the age of 89.
