November 24: A Day of Significance for the Writer and the Actor…

November 24 holds a special and emotional connection for both Salim Khan and Dharmendra. In fact, renowned Bollywood screenwriter Salim Khan celebrates his 90th birthday today. Since morning, messages of congratulations have been pouring in for him. His daughter, Arpita Khan Sharma, wished her father a happy 90th birthday on social media, calling him a legend. Everyone was celebrating, but in the afternoon, the news broke that Bollywood's He-Man, Dharmendra, was no more.

This is a coincidence that has brought two legendary names from Bollywood into the spotlight on the same day. The writing partnership of Salim-Javed and Dharmendra's friendship was well-known. Films like 'Sholay', 'Zanjeer', and 'Shaan' immortalised this trio. It was due to this friendship that Salim Khan was always considered to have Dharmendra as his favourite actor. Therefore, November 24 will now be remembered not only as Salim Khan's birthday but also as a day to pay tribute to Dharmendra.
