Legendary actor Dharmendra, known as the He-Man Of Bollywood, passed away in Mumbai on November 24, 2025, due to age-related health issues, just two weeks before his 90th birthday. On Thursday, Hema Malini, along with daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, hosted another prayer gathering at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre on Janpath, Delhi, to remember and pay tribute to the veteran star. The gathering saw the presence of several family members, close friends and colleagues in Delhi.
Union Minister Amit Shah pays tribute to Dharmendra
Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a speech remembering Dharmendra at his prayer meet in New Delhi. He said, "I never had a personal meeting with Dharmendra ji. Once he called me when Hema ji became an MP. He had written a letter… He was worried that Hema ji should win from her constituency with a good vote margin - he mentioned this in the letter - and that’s exactly what happened; Hema ji won by a very good margin."
"Dharmendra ji was a man with a very clean and pure heart. Today, I have come here as a fan of Dharmendra ji; I have not come here as the Home Minister. Dharmendra ji entered the film industry at a time when there wasn’t much money, nor the kind of luxury we see today. Through sheer hard work and dedication, he achieved that stature. The same person who could play a character like the one in Sholay could also play a completely different kind of role in Chupke Chupke," he continued.

Maine kaafi heroes ke saath kaam kiya hai, lagbhag sabke saath kar chuka hoon film industry mein. Dharam ji jaisa sundar, jo atma se bhi aur sharir se bhi sundar ho, maine kabhi nahi dekha."
