Sachin Tendulkar also replied

In response to this, Sachin Tendulkar shared the same picture on Instagram which Dharmendra had shared on X. Sachin wrote in the caption, “Today met the biggest Veeru, Dharmendra ji. It’s a different thing about Veerus (referring to Virender Sehwag and Dharmendra’s character in Sholay). Everyone is his fan. What does Veeru (Virender Sehwag) say?”

Mohammed Siraj was called a brave son

Mohammad Siraj’s father passed away in the month of November in the year 2020. At that time Siraj was on Australia tour and was given the option to return home, but Siraj did not do so. Siraj had taken a total of 13 wickets on that tour. When Siraj returned from Australia tour, he went straight from the airport to Khairatabad cemetery and paid respects to his father’s grave.

On this, Dharmendra shared a picture of Siraj on social media and wrote in the caption, “Siraj, brave son of India, proud of you. With the shock of your father’s death in your heart, you kept playing matches for the pride of the country and returned after registering a victory in the name of the country. Yesterday, I felt filled with joy after seeing you at your father’s grave. May he be blessed with heaven.”
