Mr Bachchan, in his tweet, wrote that "another valiant Giant has left us .. left the arena .. leaving behind a silence with an unbearable sound". He called Dharam ji the "epitome of greatness, ever linked not only for his renowned physical presence, but for the largeness of his heart, and its most endearing simplicity."
"He brought with him the earthiness of the village in Punjab he came from, and remained true to its temperament, unsoiled throughout his glorious career," he added.
The megastar also wrote in the "fraternity that witnessed changes every decade," he never changed. The veteran actor further wrote that Dharmendra's "smile, charm and his warmth" extended to all that came in his vicinity, which, according to him, is a "rarity in the profession."
