When Dharmendra Played Antakshari With Sunny And Bobby

MUMBAI -Actress-singer Ishitta Arun shared a heartwarming memory of spending an unforgettable afternoon with veteran actor Dharmendra and his sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol.

From singing Antakshari and enjoying parathas to sharing laughter and even a playful arm-wrestling match, Ishitta fondly recalled the warmth, generosity, and timeless charm of the actor. Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress posted a rare throwback video from 2007 where Dharmendra could be seen starting a game of Antakshari. In the video, everyone at the table smiled as Bobby, initially bashful and hesitant, finally joined in. Dharmendra sang one song after another with joyful abandon, keeping the game going effortlessly. He was also seen reciting one of his own shayaris and engaging in playful arm wrestling.

For the caption, Ishitta Arun wrote, “One quiet afternoon in 2007, I got to meet the man behind the legend – Dharamji. The music lover, the poet, the person. And honestly, that afternoon was anything but quiet – it was full of laughter and music, with his two sons beside him.”

She continued, “We sat in the English countryside eating parathas, singing Antakshari (correction: he sang all the songs and won hands down), listening to his shairi, and even arm-wrestling – where he let me “win” with that familiar twinkle in his eye. What stayed with me was how easy he made everyone feel – like you’d known him forever. His generosity wasn’t loud; it was the kind you felt.” (IANS)
