The throwback clip showed Salman addressing Dharmendra ji as an “older brother” and a “fatherly figure” to him. Salman said, “Mere sabse favourite hero, like an elder brother, like a father figure, har season mein woh iss show mein aaye hain. And iss season mein he could not be here… (sic).” He then showed all the eliminated contestants a clip of Dharmendra ji enjoying his time on the Bigg Boss stage.
In the throwback clip, late actor Dharmendra says, “Salman ka show ho aur Dharmendra na aaye (sic).” Seeing this, Salman got teary eyes and were visibly emotional while seeing Dharmendra promise that he will come back in the next season.
As the video ended, Salman paused for a moment and sighed. With his eyes welling up, he said, “Jab aap log andar the, we lost our He-Man, we lost the most amazing man. I don’t think Dharam ji se better koi aadmi hai, aur jo unhone apni life jii hai, king size jii hai… (sic).” His words left the remaining contestants in the house- Gaurav, Farrhana, and Pranit visibly shocked. Salman then continued, reflecting on Dharmendra’s iconic roles and his immense contribution to the entertainment industry.
