Indian Idol 16 is set to honour the remarkable career of legendary actor
Dharmendra, who recently passed away at the age of 89. To make the episode even more special, the makers have invited Bollywood veteran Jeetendra, who shared a close bond with Dharmendra.
Jeetendra graced the singing reality show Indian Idol season 16 as a part of their Yaadon Ki Baraat series.
The official social media page of the channel shared a promo of the upcoming episode featuring Jeetendra where the contestants were seen singing songs featuring Dharmendra as a tribute to the late superstar.
In the video, the veteran actor got emotional during a special segment on the show dedicated to the late superstar Dharmendra. Singer-rapper Badshah, who is also one of the judges of Indian Idol 16, was seen breaking into tears as the show celebrated the legacy of Dharmendra.
Recently, Badshah was seen remembering the legendary actor Dharmendra on the sets of the Indian Idol 16.
He said, “Dharam paaji was the real essence of Punjab, and now it feels as if that beautiful fragrance and essence has been lost from the soil of our own Punjab. He was Dharam Paaji, everybody’s, every fan’s ideal idol…” Badshah further said, “Dharam ji wherever you are, be happy and hopeful and at peace.”
The rapper ended his tribute by reciting a shayari by Dharmendra that he would often be heard saying. “Sab kuch paakar bhi, haasil-e-zindagi kuch bhi nahi, Kambakkht jaan kyun jaati hai jaate hue.”
Superstar Dharmendra’s passing on November 24 sent shockwaves across the nation, especially within the Bollywood industry.
Speaking about the experience, Jeetendra Ji said, “Music has been a constant companion throughout my life. That’s why every time I step onto the Indian Idol stage, I feel a deep connection with my own memories of rehearsals, recordings, and moments when a song shaped an entire emotion on screen. Seeing these contestants chase their dreams with such dedication fills me with immense pride. It shows that the future of Indian music is in very talented hands. This episode was special as I got to relieve memories of Dharam ji, who is remembered and loved by everyone.”
