Half-brothers Esha Deol and Bobby Deol wished their father, actor Dharmendra, a happy 85th birthday on Tuesday. They took to social media to share special posts for their dad. Esha, sharing two photos of the two posing together, wrote in her caption: “Holding onto this hand for eternity. I love you dad. Happy Birthday. I wish you happiness and the best health always ”. Bobby shared an old black and white photo of himself sitting on his father’s lap and kissing him on the cheek. He wrote in the caption: “I love you dad … Happy birthday.”
Actor Abhishek Bachchan was among the many who took to the comment section to express their best wishes. “Happy birthday,” he wrote.
Dharmendra, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, said that he no longer celebrates his birthday, but remembers his late mother that day. “Before, I used to celebrate my birthday, but then I felt it was too artificial, kyun industry mein dikhawa zyaada hota hai. Log janamdin ko promotion ke liye use karte hain (people in the industry are not genuine, they use birthdays for promotions). Also, this year has been quite sad with the suffering of farmers and the ongoing pandemic; it doesn’t make you happy. You cannot enjoy. Also, since I lost my mother years ago, I don’t really enjoy celebrating birthdays. She would be so excited about it, ”he said.
