Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Bobby Deol
On Wednesday morning, veteran actor Dharmendra had his ashes immersed in the sacred Ganges River at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar. Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, accompanied by Sunny's son Karan Deol, were seen becoming upset while performing the ceremony.
Sunny, Bobby, Karan, and other family members travelled to Haridwar for the rite on Tuesday. Later in the evening, a video of Sunny from the hotel appeared online, showing the Gadar star sipping tea on the balcony.
The ashes were immersed in a ghat on Wednesday. Several clips of the same nature have emerged on social media.
As shown in the video, there were a few individuals at the ghat for the rituals, with reports indicating that everyone had been warned not to reveal any specifics about the ceremony.
In one of the videos, Bobby appears to be distraught as he hugs Karan and other family members gathering at the ghat. Following the ceremony, the family departed for Jolly Grant Airport.
Dharmendra died at the age of 89 on November 24, only days before his 90th birthday on December 8. The actor had been ailing for quite some time before being admitted to the hospital on November 10. Later, he was released from Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital and was recovering at home. He was cremated in Mumbai on November 25 in the presence of his family and film industry associates. Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Salim Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan were all seen at the crematorium paying their final respects.
On November 27, a prayer meeting in memory of the late actor was conducted in Mumbai. The Deol family hosted the prayer meeting, known as Celebration of Life. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Rekha, and Aishwarya Rai were among those who attended the prayer meeting.
Hema Malini is Dharmendra's second wife; the renowned actor previously married Prakash Kaur. Prakash married Dharmendra in 1954 and had four children: Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta, and Ajeeta. Hema and Dharmendra have two daughters: Esha and Ahana.
