Dharmendra had been receiving medical care at home after being discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, where he had been admitted due to prolonged illness. Doctors had been monitoring him daily, and although his condition had briefly improved after his discharge, he eventually succumbed to his illness.
A wave of tributes began pouring in moments after the confirmation. Filmmaker Karan Johar, who directed Dharmendra in his final film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, posted an emotional message on Instagram, calling it “the end of an era”. Sharing a photo of the late megastar, he wrote, “It is an end of an ERA….. a massive mega star… the embodiment of a HERO in mainstream cinema… incredibly handsome and the most enigmatic screen presence … he is and will always be a bonafide Legend of Indian Cinema… defining and richly present in the pages of cinema history … but mostly he was the best human being… he was so loved by everyone in our industry …. He only had immense love and positivity for everyone … his blessings, his hug and his incredible warmth will be missed more than words can describe ….

The heavens are blessed today…. It will always be my blessing to have worked with you…. And my heart says with respect, reverence and love…. Abhi Na jao chodke…. Ke dil abhi bhara nahi……OM SHANTI.”
Dharmendra, known fondly as the “He-Man” of Hindi cinema, leaves behind a monumental legacy spanning over six decades and more than 300 films. He is survived by his wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, and his children — Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta, Ajeeta, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
