Fans got an emotional moment this week when Salman Khan , during his ongoing Dabangg Tour in Qatar, paused the celebration to speak from the heart about Dharmendra . At a time when the legendary star has only just returned home after a worrying hospitalisation, Salman’s words felt especially tender.
Salman Calls Dharmendra His Biggest Inspiration
On stage, Salman didn’t hold back. He called Dharmendra the man who defined stardom long before he arrived and said the veteran has always felt like a father figure to him. He shared how deeply he cares for the 89-year-old actor and expressed his hope for his steady recovery. The candid moment showed a softer side of Salman, who often credits Dharmendra for shaping his idea of discipline and fitness since the 90s.
