Urvashi Rautela on Dharmendra’s death: I haven’t been able to work or process myself emotionally
Mumbai, Nov 30 – Actress Urvashi Rautela let her feelings out on Instagram after veteran actor Dharmendra’s death, saying the loss has left a deep emotional void that she’s still trying to process.
In her post, she shared a nostalgic clip from her debut film, Singh Saab The Great, where she can be seen dancing beside Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Dharmendra.
The caption was an extensive tribute that read, “Sometimes life gives you moments so precious that you don’t realise they will one day become memories that hurt and heal at the same time. My debut big film as a Lead … my first step into cinema… and destiny placed me in the presence of legends. Sunny Deol sir, Bobby Deol sir… and the man whose name my family spoke with reverence — Dharmendra ji.”
She went on to describe how young, nervous, and almost clueless she felt at about eighteen and a half: she was sitting beside Dharmendra with only two chairs and a quiet corner, trembling with inexperience, while he spoke with a gentle calmness that could soothe any storm. “Those were not just conversations …they were blessings. His words were warmth, wisdom, and light. Even today, when I close my eyes, I can feel those moments resting gently inside my heart.”
Adding that the last two weeks she’s been struggling, she admitted, “For the past 15 days, I haven’t been okay. I haven’t been able to work or process myself emotionally. And I know… honestly… nobody really cares about someone else’s silent pain. But my heart needed to speak. Because some grief refuses to stay inside.” She recalled her parents’ first memory of a film shoot in Nainital, noting how the world seemed to glow because Dharmendra was present, and how she grew up hearing that no other hero could ever match his magnetism, charm or purity.
She went on to say, “Never did I imagine that my own debut film…my very first song… would give me the honour of sharing the screen with that same legend. Some blessings are too big to understand when they arrive; you only realise their magnitude when your heart aches with gratitude. Dharmendra ji…We will all miss you. I will miss you.”
Continuing the tribute, Urvashi added, “One can never truly express how much love, how many prayers, how many silent wishes rise from within for someone who touched their soul. But I hope you receive them, wherever you are. Thank you… for your kindness, your teachings, your warmth. I will carry your blessings with me for the rest of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. For everything.”
Dharmendra, 89, passed away on November 24 at his home in Mumbai, having died twelve days after being discharged from Breach‑Candy Hospital, where he’d been receiving treatment at home.
