'Another valiant Giant has left us .. left the arena .. leaving behind a silence with an unbearable sound Dharam ji. The epitome of greatness, ever linked not only for his renowned physical presence, but for the largeness of his heart , and its most endearing simplicity. He brought with him the earthiness of the village in Punjab he came from , and remained true to its temperament, un soiled throughout his glorious career , in a fraternity that witnessed changes every decade. The fraternity underwent changes, not him, his smile, his charm and his warmth, extending to all that came in his vicinity, a rarity in the profession. The air about us swings vacant, a vacuum that shall ever remain vacuus. Prayers,' read Big B's x post.
