Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday paid tribute to veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who passed away earlier in the day. Abdullah described him as a “friend of Jammu and Kashmir” who kept returning to the picturesque region for film shoots and holidays until 1987-88.

Omar said he had grown up watching Dharmendra’s films. “The people around my age might have missed any film but Sholay. I remember his role in the picture and other films like Burning Train and Shalimar. He leaves behind an unmatched legacy of hit movies and breathtaking performances.”
