Veteran actor Sanjay Khan also paid an emotional tribute to Dharmendra on social media and wrote, “Long before the world knew him as a star, I knew Dharam as the young man who could turn a freezing Ladakhi night into pure mischief. We were in Leh in 1966, shooting Chetan Anand's Haqeeqat, when a simple walk back to the officers' mess ended with a rifle aimed at us and a sentry screaming in the dark. Between our drunken bravado, a mountain of laughter, and that sudden brush with danger, a lifelong friendship took shape. Those who knew you will never forget you. Rest in peace my friend!”

Stars including Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Jeetendra, Sanjay Dutt, Abhay Deol, Shatrughan Sinha and several others paid their heartfelt respects.

On one of these visits, he decided to bring his son Azad along, believing it was important for Azad to meet the legendary actor whose work he hadn't really experienced.

At the 56th IFFI, Aamir Khan also shared, “He was so gentle. No matter who he would meet, whether it's a colleague, whether it's someone not from the industry, he would always be very warm and soft in meeting people. Always. So, he was a wonderful person, he was a great actor and it's a great loss for all of us,” as he talked about Dharmendra.
Shah Rukh Khan also attended Dharmendra's prayer meet on Thursday. The Bollywood superstar was snapped arriving at the venue in his luxurious car.

At the 56th IFFI, Aamir Khan remembered Dharmendra as a “handsome person” and added, “Today in fact, I'm not there in Bombay but today is his prayer meeting unfortunately. I'm missing it. And I was very close to him because in the last, I would say last one year, I must have met him about 7-8 times. Because I used to really enjoy his company so I used to go and sit with him. One day I took Azad with me, you know, my son. I said I want you to meet someone because Azad has not seen his work really. But Azad came with me and we spent a couple of hours with him and it was really wonderful. You know, Dharamji was not only such a fine actor but he was a great human being.”
Ameesha Patel, who shares a close bond with the Deol family, was also seen arriving at the venue to attend Dharmendra's last rites. She looked devastated as the paparazzi snapped her.

At the 56th IFFI in Goa, Aamir Khan paid tribute to Dharmendra and shared, “Well, I've grown up watching him and I mean he was known as the action hero and the he-man And of course he was extremely good, you know, portraying these strong characters in action films. He was very good at that. But I think people have, I don't know whether people have really noticed, I think he is underrated. His performances in romance or different genres, he's done so well. He does amazing comedy, he does amazing romance, you know, dramas. So according to me, Dharamji was right up there as one of the finest actors that we have. So, I've really looked up to him always.”
As reported by India.com, Dharmendra owned several properties worth over Rs 17 crore in Maharashtra. Reportedly, he has also invested in both agricultural and non-agricultural land valued at Rs 88 lakh and Rs 52 lakh, respectively. He also owns a luxurious 100-acre farmhouse in Lonavala.
If you have travelled across the northern states of India, you must have come across this popular Dhaba chain called ‘Garam Dharam'. It is owned by Dharmendra. The franchise celebrates his larger-than-life persona and his journey in the film industry. Additionally, Dharmendra also operated another eatery called ‘He-Man' on the Karnal Highway. It also pays homage to his famous Bollywood journey.
Sholay director Ramesh Sippy also paid an emotional tribute to Dharmendra recently during his address at the 56th International Film Festival of India. “It's been difficult talking about him… it just happened. I think he was the most wonderful man, one of the finest ever. That place will never be filled by anybody else. I'm sure we will have other actors who are good, but there will be no Dharmendra again. He was absolutely magnificent — both as a human being and as an actor,” he said.
Recently, Ajit Pawar, along with former CIDCO chairman Pramod Hindurao, also visited Hema Malini at her residence following the death of her actor-husband, Dharmendra. During their meeting, they spoke about the veteran actor's remarkable contribution to Indian cinema.
Sonu Nigam is set to pay tribute to the iconic Dharmendra with soulful renditions of some of his most memorable songs. With his powerful voice, Sonu will bring to life the timeless classics that showcased Dharmendra's on-screen charm and romance. From nostalgic hits to romantic ballads, Sonu's performance will revisit the melodies that have become an integral part of Indian cinema's golden era, evoking nostalgia and delighting fans across generations.
Dharmendra's last film to release will now be Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan and starring Agastya Nanda. The film arrives in cinemas on December 25, 2025, exactly a month after the actor's passing.
Suniel Shetty has also arrived for Dharmendra's prayer meeting at the Taj Lands End hotel in Mumbai.
Just as director Anil Sharma had revealed that Apne 2 had been shelved after Dharmendra‘s passing, producer Deepak Mukut has confirmed that the film is indeed happening and will serve as a tribute to the late, legendary actor. He said in a statement, “People need to stop spreading unverified rumours. Apne 2 is NOT shelved. This film is happening, and it is happening with full conviction. We have been working quietly but consistently, and there has never been a question of dropping the project. Apne 2 is not only on track but remains one of the most emotionally significant projects undertaken by our banner.”
Jackie Shroff is also attending Dharmendra's prayer meet. He was snapped by the paparazzi as he arrived at the venue to offer his condolences to the grieving family.
Malaika Arora has also reached for Dharmendra's prayer meet. She was spotted by the paparazzi as she arrived with her son, Arhaan Khan.

Legendary icon Dharmendra, fondly known as the He-Man of Bollywood, passed away at 89 on November 24, leaving the film industry and fans heartbroken. From his breakout role in Phool Aur Patthar to his irreplaceable portrayal of Veeru in Sholay, his charm remains unmatched. His journey from a small-town dreamer to one of Hindi cinema's greatest stars, as well as his love story was as cinematic as it gets. Watch the video to know his inspiring journey:
Sunny Deol's son, Karan Deol, has also arrived at the venue for Dharmendra's prayer meet.
In an old interview, Dharmendra spoke lovingly about his most iconic co-star and wife, Hema Malini. He said, “We have done so many films together and given so many hits. We are considered to be one of the best loved on-screen couples. We have a chemistry that is unbelievable and complement each other really well. She is the most beautiful woman I know. She is a very caring lady. I respect her a lot.”
Recently, Sriram Raghavan revealed that Dharmendra changed his Johnny Gaddaar death scene on set, saying the original version wouldn't suit his character. It originally involved a stabbing. But on shoot day, Dharmendra spotted the prop knife in Sriram Raghavan's hand and immediately questioned it.
Sidharth Malhotra was also spotted by the paparazzi as he arrived for Dharmendra's prayer meet.

Bobby Deol has arrived at Dharmendra's residence in Juhu. He is expected to leave for the prayer meet soon.
A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani)
Director Anil Sharma has confirmed that Apne 2 – a film meant to unite three generations of the Deol family – will now never be made. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, “Apne to apno ke bina nahi ho sakti. Without Dharamji, it's impossible to make the sequel. Everything was on track and the script was ready, but he left us. Some dreams remain unfulfilled. Without him, it's not possible!”
