The 77-year-old emphasised the strength of their relationship and the support they provided each other throughout their lives. She expressed gratitude for the love and stability he brought to their family during challenging times. During the event, the actor shared, "Jis shakhs ke saath maine kai filmon mein pyaar ka abhinay kiya, wahi mere jeevansaathi ban gaye. Humara pyaar sachcha tha, toh hum kisi bhi paristhiti ka saamna karne ki himmat thi. We got married, and he became a devoted husband to me. He was a pillar of support and stood by me at every step of my life."
The gathering provided a platform for Hema Malini to describe the lasting influence Dharmendra had on their family. She noted his deep involvement in their daughters’ lives and the happiness he found in witnessing their milestones. Esha and Ahana have remained central figures in the family, and Hema Malini spoke about the unity they share even after Dharmendra’s passing.
In her address, Malini stated, "He always supported my decisions. My two daughters, Esha and Ahana, became his greatest strengths. He loved them immensely and saw them happily married. Our five grandchildren loved him too, and he was always delighted to spend time with them. He would often tell me to take care of this family."
The prayer meet was attended by several notable personalities from India’s political landscape, including ministers Amit Shah, Kangana Ranaut, Anurag Thakur, and Nirmala Sitharaman.
The gathering at Dr Ambedkar International Centre reflected a collective moment of remembrance, as friends, colleagues, and well-wishers paid their respects to Dharmendra. The event highlighted the deep bonds within the family and the enduring legacy of the late actor.
