Bobby Deol recently accepted a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for his late father, Dharmendra, at an event in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
This emotional moment occurred during the Chetak Screen Awards ceremony.<\/p>\n
The award was for the actor who passed away at 89 years old on November 24, 2025.<\/p>\n
This grand posthumous honour was presented by famous director Ramesh Sippy, along with Javed Akhtar and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.<\/p>\n
Bobby Deol appeared visibly moved and struggled to hold back his tears as he walked up to the grand stage.<\/p>\n
He is the younger son of the veteran star and his first wife, Prakash Kaur, who lives in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
Before the presentation, a touching montage played showing iconic scenes from the illustrious career of the late cinema legend.<\/p>\n
Amitabh Bachchan provided a powerful voiceover for the video while reciting beautiful lines of poetry written by the actor himself.<\/p>\n
His final cinematic performance was in the movie Ikkis, which was directed by the acclaimed filmmaker named Sriram Raghavan.<\/p>\n
That film arrived in theatres on January 1, 2026, and earned widespread praise for the acting skills of the veteran star.<\/p>\n
Bobby reflected on his father\u2019s incredible resilience throughout a long career that spanned several decades in the Indian film industry.<\/p>\n
The actor spoke about how his father opened many doors of love for the entire Deol family and his children.<\/p>\n
He mentioned that he never expected to represent his father in such a capacity during an official awards night ceremony.<\/p>\n
The crowd responded with great warmth as the son of the He Man of Bollywood expressed his deep personal gratitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see my father\u2019s love in all your eyes. My father touched everyone\u2019s hearts through his work and even through his Instagram reels, which had become his new hobby.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe always wanted people to stay happy and believed that God has given all of us so much in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe used to say that we all have a special gift within us, and if we believe in it, we can achieve anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bobby Deol thanked the organisers and the audience for showing such immense respect to his beloved and legendary father.<\/p>\n
His words resonated with everyone present as he celebrated the life and legacy of the man he called best.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why he worked in this industry for so many years, he saw both good and bad times but never gave up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever I go and whoever I meet, I receive so much love because my father opened people\u2019s hearts for us, for me, my brother, and our family.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople love him so much that they welcomed us into their hearts without hesitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd today, standing here, I feel like I\u2019ll go home and tell him, \u2018Papa, you couldn\u2019t come, so I\u2019ve brought your award with me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel very blessed and grateful to God for making me his son. Thank you so much. Papa, you are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
