The Deol family came together on Wednesday evening as the film industry gathered in Mumbai to honour the late Dharmendra at a solemn prayer meet. Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol were seen standing with their family members, offering support and receiving condolences from colleagues and friends at the ceremony held at Taj Lands End, Bandra. Dharmendra’s passing on November 24 has left the film fraternity in deep mourning, and the event became a heartfelt space to remember his extraordinary life and legacy.
A photo shared by a fan from inside the venue captured a serene moment between the two brothers. Dressed in white, hands folded, Sunny and Bobby interacted quietly with well-wishers who arrived to offer their final respects. Behind them, a large portrait of Dharmendra stood as a powerful reminder of the warmth, charm, and cinematic brilliance he brought to Indian cinema for decades.
The ceremony was themed “Celebration of Life,” reflecting the spirit of the gathering. From 5 pm to 7:30 pm, actors, filmmakers, technicians, and close family friends streamed in, many sharing that the atmosphere—though emotional—was calm and dignified. Reports also indicated that singer Sonu Nigam is likely to perform a special musical tribute featuring some of Dharmendra’s most loved songs.
Dharmendra, who passed away at 89 after prolonged health challenges, continued to remain active in films and was enthusiastic about upcoming projects, including Ekkis, starring Agastya Nanda. His passing has sparked an outpouring of love across the country, with fans and colleagues remembering his humility, discipline, and iconic presence on screen.
Earlier this week, the Sholay legend was cremated in a private ceremony. Though there had been talk of state honours and a gun salute in recognition of his contribution to cinema and his tenure as Bikaner’s Member of Parliament, the Deol family opted for a quiet, dignified farewell.
At the prayer meet, those who knew him best spoke of Dharmendra’s deep connections, generosity, and the sincerity he brought to every relationship. Younger actors recalled the encouragement he offered, while friends shared memories of a star who carried immense fame with rare grace. The gathering ultimately became a tribute not just to his work, but to the love and warmth he leaves behind. Dharmendra’s legacy lives on—in his unforgettable films and in the hearts of millions who adored him.
