Veteran actor Dharmendra often shares heartfelt moments on Instagram, reminiscing about the golden era of his life. Recently, Bollywood’s He-Man took a trip down memory lane, remembering his late father, Kewal Kishan Singh Deol, by sharing an old photo with him. In the picture, his elder son and actor Sunny Deol can also be seen posing beside his grandfather.
In the caption, Dharmendra expressed regret over not spending more time with his parents while navigating his high-profile career. He wrote, “kaash! MAA BAAP ko aur waqt diya hota! (I wish, I would have given more time to my parents).” When a fan asked Dharmendra about how one can keep their parents happy, the Sholay actor responded, “Treat them the way you treat your kids,,,,,,,if you don’t have kids…… Be their loving kid.”

Dharmendra’s wife and veteran actor Hema Malini had previously shared anecdotes about her father-in-law. In her biography, “Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl” by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, she recalled that her father-in-law was very fond of her and her family, often visiting her father and brother.
She mentioned, “He would drop by and meet my father or brother for chai (tea). Instead of shaking hands he would arm-wrestle them, and after defeating them he would jokingly say, ‘Tum log ghee-makkhan-lassi khao, idli aur sambhar se taqat nahi aati’ (You guys should eat ghee, butter and lassi. Idli and sambhar won’t give you strength).” She further recalled, “My father would join in the laughter. He (Dharmendra’s father) was a very jovial person.”
Dharmendra was last seen on the big screen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, opposite Shabana Azmi.
