Expressing deep grief and remembering Dharmendra as the centre of her life, actor-politician Hema Malini on Thursday shared an emotional post on social media, her first since the veteran actor passed away in Mumbai on November 24.
Hema reflected on their decades together and described Dharmendra as "everything" to her, whose presence she said shaped her life.
“Dharam ji. He was many things to me. Loving husband, adoring father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, friend, philosopher, guide, poet, my 'go-to' person in all times of need, in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been, through good times and bad," she wrote along with a picture of Dharmendra.
"He endeared himself to all my family members with his easy, friendly ways, always showing affection and interest in all of them. As a public personality, his talent, humility despite his popularity, and universal appeal set him apart as a unique icon, unequaled among all the legends. His enduring fame and achievements in the film industry will last forever," she added.

Calling her loss "indescribable," she expressed how difficult it is for her to accept a life without him. "My personal loss is indescribable, and the vacuum created is something that will last through the rest of my life. After years of togetherness, I am left with myriad memories to relive the many special moments..."
In another post, she also shared a carousel of old memories with the caption, "Some memorable moments..." along with pictures of the two together through different phases of life.
