Dharmendra had been undergoing treatment at Breach Candy Hospital for the past week after a decline in his health. His hospitalisation had triggered widespread concern, particularly after reports surfaced that he had been placed on ventilator support.
Family members, including Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol, Esha Deol, and Hema Malini, made repeated visits to the hospital. Several prominent stars, among them Shah Rukh Khan with son Aryan Khan and Salman Khan, also arrived to check on the veteran actor’s condition on Monday.
Dharmendra often spoke candidly about his early days in Bombay, a phase characterised by long walks from one studio to another, clutching a small set of photographs and a heart full of ambition.
There were moments, he recalled, when meals were skipped, but hope was never abandoned. His perseverance eventually paid off when he secured his debut role in “Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere” (1960).
Although the film did not find commercial success, critics immediately took note of the newcomer’s understated intensity and screen presence- qualities that would soon become his trademarks.
Dharmendra’s rise from a struggling outsider to one of Indian cinema’s most beloved stars remains one of Bollywood’s most inspiring journeys. His contribution is etched not only in blockbuster films but also in the hearts of audiences who saw in him a hero who was relatable, warm, and deeply human.
As the industry bids farewell, tributes continue to pour in for the star whose work, from action-packed dramas to tender romances, will forever remain a cornerstone of Indian cinematic history.
