On Monday night, the 83-year-old actor took to his blog and penned a moving tribute to his Veeru. He mentioned how Dharmendra's death has left a "silence with an unbearable sound".

Talking about the late actor's magnetic on-screen presence, Bachchan further added, 'Dharam ji, the epitome of greatness, is ever linked not only for his renowned physical presence but also 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, unsoiled 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,' Amitabh Bachchan wrote.

Amitabh and Dharmendra first shared the screen in the 1974 release, Dost, followed by two blockbusters, Sholay and Chupke Chupke, in 1975.

Ending his tribute on a poignant note, the veteran actor wrote, 'The air about us swings vacant, a vacuum that shall ever remain vacuous.'
