Firoz Khan, who played the character of Arjun in Mahabharata, said, ‘It is with a heavy heart that I have to say that my very good friend Pankaj Dheer is no more. He was a gentleman in every way and the best thing about him was that he always made sure that everyone around him was smiling and laughing. I will miss you a lot because a true soul like you is rare. I salute you for your support and the work we have done together, from playing cricket since our school days to being apart of the Mahabharata. PD, I love you. I will always remember you.

Pankaj ji was the first senior actor with whom I had the privilege of working (in Rang Badalti Odhni). He treated me like a son with great kindness and affection. The news of his demise is truly a shock, but he will always be remembered with immense love and respect. My deepest condolences to his family.

I got goosebumps after hearing this news. He was a great co-actor and it was a privilege to work with him. I remember he used to bring sandwiches from home for me. He would bring amazing home-cooked food, and no matter what, he would always save some for me. Everyone who worked with him knows what a wonderful person he was. Unfortunately, I met him only once, after the show. This shows that life is very short.

This is very shocking and sad news. I had the honor of working with him in my first film ‘Tarzan’, and not just that, but also in a show where Ishita and I were together. We spent a lot of time together there.
