Over the years, Amitabh and Dharmendra appeared together in several movies, including Chupke Chupke, Ram Balram, and more. However, their biggest contribution to cinema-and one that forever immortalized their on-screen camaraderie, remains the iconic Sholay.
The legendary star’s passing has left a deep void in the lives of countless Indian film fans who grew up with his films etched into their memories.
As the 89-year-old passes away, several industry members are making their way to pay their final respects, an homage rightfully fitting for a legend of his stature. Earlier today, a medical assistance vehicle was seen arriving at his residence, creating much conundrum and intrigue among the public, who began speculating about the actor’s passing.
Later, it was reported by several news outlets that the beloved actor had indeed passed away. Soon after, his wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol were seen arriving at his residence to partake in the final rites of Bollywood’s ‘He-Man.’
On a side note, Dharmendra had experienced a health scare earlier this month after he was admitted to a hospital. The actor had reportedly been receiving treatment for a respiratory illness and age-related issues, but was soon taken home.
