Today, November 24, 2025, the renowned actor Dharmendra passed away. Dharmendra, who was 89 years old, was regarded as the HE-MAN of Indian film. After more than three weeks of fighting, the seasoned actor eventually said the world farewell, leaving an enduring legacy.
The passing of an amazing actor has left the entertainment industry in complete shock. Several celebrities hurried to the cremation facility to offer their last respects to the soul as soon as the news broke. Shah Rukh Khan arrived at the burial place to offer his final condolences. He was seen wearing a white bennie over his head. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Govinda were also sighted at Mumbai’s Pawan Hans Crematorium.
Ranveer Singh costarred alongside the renowned actor in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani. In the movie, Dharamji portrayed Ranveer Singh’s grandfather. Additionally, the Dhurandhar actor posted a photo of himself and the seasoned actor on his Instagram account. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Salim Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Aamir Khan, Shabana Azmi, Saira Bano, and other celebrities attended Dharmendra’s final rituals.
Over the past few weeks, Dharamji’s health has declined. The actor fought back and healed after being placed on a ventilator two weeks ago. After being released from the hospital, Dharam ji was cared for at home. Ikkis, starring Sriram Raghavan, will be his final on-screen role. Agastya Nanda, the grandson of his Sholay co-star and friend Amitabh Bachchan, makes his big-screen acting debut in the film.
The film centers on the Battle of Basantar during the 1971 India-Pakistan War and is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. The father of Arun Khetarpal, the lead character, is portrayed by Dharmendra. On December 25, 2025, Ikkis is scheduled to open in theaters.
