About Dharmendra's death
The passing of legendary actor Dharmendra on 24 November has plunged the Indian film industry and millions of admirers around the world into deep sorrow. The 89-year-old stalwart, fondly remembered as Bollywood’s ‘He-Man,’ had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital earlier this month after reportedly experiencing breathing difficulties.
Though he was discharged on 12 November and appeared to be recovering at home, his health took an unexpected turn for the worse in the days that followed. Dharmendra, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday on 8 December, spent his final moments in the presence of his loved ones.
Dharmendra is survived by Hema Malini, his first wife Prakash Kaur, and his six children, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Esha Deol, Ahana Deol, Ajeeta, and Vijeta. Professionally, the veteran actor was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, starring Shahid Kapoor. His final film, Ikkis, based on the life of Indian war hero Arun Khetarpal, will feature Dharam Ji portraying the martyr soldier, with Agastya Nanda in the titular role.
