Pakistani Actress Reema Khan Mourns Dharmendra's Death
Pakistani actress and television host Reema Khan shared a throwback photo mourning Dharmendra's passing at 89. Recalling meeting him in 2004, she wrote on her Instagram handle, "Cinema just lost its heartbeat, your light will never fade. I want to pay my respects to the legendary actor Shri Dharmendra ji, whom I had the great privilege of meeting back in 2004. His gracious hospitality and civility will always be remembered. My deepest condolences to his family and fans."
The photo of Reema’s emotional tribute to Dharmendra was shared by Pakistani Cinema's Instagram handle, as Pakistani celebrities' social media accounts have been blocked in India following the terror attack in Pahalgam and the subsequent escalation in Indo-Pak tensions.
Meanwhile, other Pakistani celebrities, including Mahira Khan, Adnan Siddiqui and musician Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, also remembered Dharmendra.
Adnan, who worked in Sridevi's Mom wrote, "He made acting look effortless, like he was born for the screen — because he was. That rare mix of softness, those drop-dead gorgeous looks, and that signature twinkle in his eyes. He wasn’t just a superstar; he was soul, style and sincerity rolled into one."
Mahira simply shared Dharmendra's photos on her Instagram story and wrote, "Rest in peace."
Dharmendra's last film, Ikkis, will be released on December 25, 2025, starring Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda and Jaideep Ahlawat in key roles.
