In 1987 he got the role of Lubhaya Ram in Ramesh Sippy`s TV Serial `Buniyaad`, which laid his foundation in the Mumbai film and television industry.

Saddened over Dhillon`s demise, Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Badal said that it is a big loss to the world of Indian cinema.
“His captivating voice and theatrical displays will be missed by many. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, friends and fans,” he tweeted.
