Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 25 : Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah recalled his work experience with superstar Dharmendra after he passed away at the age of 89 on Monday.

Taking to his Instagram, Naseeruddin Shah shared a poster of the film 'Ghulami' in which he shared the screen for the first time with Dharmendra. He paid tribute to the actor by calling his legacy "thoroughly deserved stardom."

"This was the first time I met the great man himself, I was privileged to work with him on two other projects besides this one. A Dharmendra-sized hole is impossible to fill. I treasure the affection I received from him. Not everyone can claim a 60 year long thoroughly deserved stardom. May he rest in eternal peace. Aameen," said Naseeruddin Shah.
