At a recent event in Kolkata, a simple moment transformed into one of the evening’s most memorable highlights when Monali Thakur stepped onto the stage to honour the late superstar Dharmendra, who passed away at 89 earlier this week.

A video from the event has been going viral on social media, showing Monali rendering the timeless classic Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha from Dharmendra’s 1962 movie Anpadh with remarkable ease and sincerity. Her voice, steady yet full of feeling, breathed new life into the beloved melody. The video showed each line carrying a quiet reverence, echoing her admiration for the legendary actor. As the song unfolded, it almost felt like the golden era of Hindi cinema had briefly returned, reminding the audience of the warmth, innocence, and charm Dharmendra Ji brought to the screen.
