Dharmendra's death

Dharmendra passed away on November 24. He was 89 and only days away from his 90th birthday in December. He took his last breath after being seriously ill, as he was hospitalised for over a month at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital.

However, he was discharged from the hospital just before his death. He was recovering at his Mumbai home, where he passed away.

The Bollywood icon was cremated in Mumbai on November 25. Only his close family members and a few colleagues from the film industry were present. The Deol family opted for a quiet and private farewell.

Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol performed the last rites, honouring Dharmendra's wish for simplicity during his final time on earth. He was not even given state honours.

Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Esha Deol, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Salim Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were snapped arriving at the crematorium.

On November 27, a prayer meet, titled Celebration of Life, in memory of Dharmendra, was held in Mumbai. Hosted by the Deol family, the event was attended by several celebs, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Rekha, and Aishwarya Rai and others.

Dharmendra is survived by his first wife Prakash Kaur and their kids- Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta, and Ajeeta. He is also survived by his second wife, Hema Malini and their daughters, Esha and Ahana.
