Not Sunny, Bobby or Esha Deol, Dharmendra gifted his ancestral property to THIS person

Dharmendra was born in Nasrali, with ancestral ties to Dango in Ludhiana district. The late actor spent three formative years of his childhood in this quiet settlement, which included a mud-and-brick home. The modest home is now valued in crores, stands intact, and is being cared for lovingly by relatives who have stayed there for decades.

After moving to Mumbai to pursue his acting career, an emotional Dharmendra returned to Dango multiple times over the years. According to reports, the Ikkis actor visited his ancestral house during a 2013 film shoot. The villagers recall he stepped out of his car, bent down, touched the soil of his courtyard to his forehead, followed by several minutes of silence during his visit. Two years later, he returned again in 2025 to formally complete the legal transfer of the ancestral land to the people who had safeguarded it in his absence.

Dharmendra gifted his ancestral land to his nephews

According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, Dharmendra had long ago entrusted the property to the children of his uncle, an act that honoured the responsibility handed down by his father. As his film career took flight, he moved to larger cities, but never severed his emotional bond with the land. Instead, he decided to expand it by transferring the ancestral estate, along with nearly 2.5 acres of land, to his uncle’s grandsons so that they could live there securely with their families.

The actor’s gesture of gifting his ancestral property, estimated to be worth around Rs 5 crore to his nephews is admired in the village. One of his nephews, Boota Singh, continues to work at a textile mill in Ludhiana and admires Dharmendra with affection. One of his relative reportedly said, “He never thought of its value. For him, it was simply home."
