Earlier in the day, Dharmendra’s children — Esha and Bobby Deol — had also shares special messages on the occasion. Esha, sharing two pictures of the two of them posing together, wrote in her caption, “Holding on to this hand for eternity. Love you papa. Happy Birthday.

Wish you happiness & the best of health always.” Bobby shared an old black-and-white picture of himself, sitting on his father’s lap and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He wrote in the caption, “Love you Papa… Happy Birthday.”

In an interview to Hindustan Times, Dharmendra said that he doesn’t like celebrating his birthdays, especially after his mother died. He said that this year particularly, he has no intention of celebrating, considering the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing farmers’ protest.

It was recently announced that three generations of the Deol family will unite onscreen for Apne 2. The film will star Dharmendra, Bobby and Sunny Deol, and Sunny’s son, Karan.
