Sunny Deol's 'Gadar' co-star, Ameesha Patel has said that he couldn't grapple his head around during Dharmendra's ICU visit. Ameesha Patel spoke about Dharmendra's passing and how Sunny Deol couldn't wrap his head around as the person he loved the most was in such a state. She added that everyone who visited the 'He Man' in the hospital would hug Sunny Deol seeing his condition.
Ameesha Patel, who played Sakina opposite Sunny Deol in 'Gadar,' has said that the family should be given privacy to deal with such an emotional loss. Patel also spoke about the time when she had paid a visit to Dharmendra while he was in the ICU. The 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai' actress said that even at that time they should have been given the privacy they deserved as the 'He Man' was quite critical.
Sunny's state
"It was a very tense situation, and they needed to be left alone even at that time. He was in a very critical situation. Whether it was Shah Rukh, Salman or me, we were there briefly for ten minutes just to hug Sunny. It was a moment he couldn't wrap his head around since it was about the person he loves the most," she said in an interview with News18.
'Ghar ki beti'
Ameesha further added that she hasn't visited the family or called them after Dharmendra's passing as they need time and privacy to process this time of immense grief. "I don't want to trouble them because they've enough visitors and callers, and it wouldn't be fair," she said. She added that the 'Sholay' actor used to call her 'beti'.
"I interacted a lot with Dharam ji then. I used to be in and out of Sunny Super Sound (recording studio). I would've had lunches with him. He always thought of me as part of his family. He always used to say, 'Ameesha mere ghar ki beti hai,'" she recalled.
