The legendary Bollywood icon, Dharmendra, was recently hospitalized but has returned home. Ever since the news broke, a steady stream of well-wishers visited him. Reports suggest that his beloved 'Jai,' Amitabh Bachchan, has now arrived to check on him. Such is the iconic rendezvous of Amitabh Bachchan himself.
Amitabh Arrives Solo
Fans have eagerly awaited the reunification of the 'Jai-Veeru' duo. With Dharmendra's health on the mend, he returned home, where his old friend and superstar Amitabh Bachchan was spotted near his Juhu house on Wednesday evening. Notably, there was heightened security outside Dharmendra's residence.
In a video, Amitabh, driving himself, appears headed towards Dharmendra. Despite the overwhelming crowd of paparazzi, Amitabh was seen steering towards Dharmendra's residence, yet reports indicate that the voracious crowd might have turned him back. The mere sight of Amitabh near Dharmendra's home stirred emotional waves among fans. At 83 years old, the fact that Amitabh ventured solo through such a crowd for his friend, is nothing short of heartwarming.

The Eternal Bond of Jai-Veeru
The friendship between Amitabh and Dharmendra is widely celebrated. Their collaboration in the 1975 blockbuster 'Sholay' still holds a special place in the cinematic heartland. Despite the passage of decades, their camaraderie remains unshaken and dignified.
Amitabh has always regarded Dharmendra as a venerable elder brother. Similarly, Dharmendra admires Amitabh's diligence and discipline. Social media buzzes with fans emotionally reacting to images and videos of this touching meet-up. Fans reminisce, saying, “The Jai and Veeru duo holds as strong a bond today as it did during 'Sholay'.”
Dharmendra was discharged from Breach Candy Hospital at 7:30 AM on November 12 and returned to his Juhu bungalow. His near and dear ones continue to visit him. Director Guddu Dhanoa assured fans of Dharmendra's well-being and recovery, and Kajol also came to visit.
