The way he lived life was king-size. He gave us Sunny Bobby and Esha. Since the day he joined the industry he has only wanted to work. He did so many roles. My career graph… I have only followed Dharamji. He came with an innocent face and a He-Man body. That charm stayed with him till the end. Love you Dharamji. Will always miss you.”
While speaking further Salman also said something really emotional. He said The main thing is… Dharamji died on 24 November that’s my father’s birthday and tomorrow is his birthday as well as my mum’s. If I’m feeling like this imagine what Sunny and his family must be going through.”

“There were two funerals conducted with utmost dignity: Sooraj Barjatya’s mother’s and Dharamji’s. They held his prayer meet with so much grace and honour. Everyone was crying but there was a decorum a celebration of life. Hats off to Bobby and Sunny. Every funeral and prayer meeting should be conducted this beautifully.”
