A Heartfelt Goodbye Hidden in His Last Instagram Video
Amid the grief, Dharmendra’s last Instagram post has resurfaced, touching millions of hearts. Posted in October on the occasion of Dussehra, the short video now feels like an emotional farewell. Sitting in a golf cart alongside his staff, the actor is seen greeting his fans with the warmth and humility that defined him.
With folded hands, he shared a message filled with blessings:
“Tamaam bhai behno ko, bachche bachiyon ko, Dusshera ki shubhkamnaye. Bhagwan aapko lambi sehat de, khushiyan de, aur ab aap naye ban ke rahe, tab toh tarraki hi tarraki hai.”
(Translation: “To all brothers and sisters, boys and girls, best wishes for Dussehra. May God bless you with long life, happiness, and may you always stay renewed and refreshed so that success always follows you.”)
Fans now see these words as Dharmendra’s final gift — a message of love, hope, and blessings just weeks before his passing. The video has been flooded with emotional comments, and his children Sunny, Bobby, and Esha had all responded with heartfelt emojis at the time of posting.
