We have been through good times and bad, always together, steadfast in our love for each other. I look forward to being dazzled by your charm for many more years to come. May God bless you with good health and happiness always,” Hema wrote in the post.

The couple’s journey together has been a remarkable one, marked by both personal and professional milestones.

The film will see Dharmendra share the screen with Agastya Nanda, the grandson of megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, ‘Ikkis’ is yet to announce a release date.

Dharmendra is also set to appear in ‘Apne 2’, the sequel to the hit film Apne. This movie will bring together the Deol family, with Dharmendra starring alongside his sons Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and grandson Karan Deol. The project is directed by Anil Sharma.
