Dharmendra passed away on November 24 last year at his Mumbai residence at the age of 89 after a brief health scare. He was cremated in Mumbai on November 25. His last film 'Ikkis' is still playing in theatres.
Veteran actor Dharmendra passed away on November 24, 2025, at the age of 89. His family, including Hema Malini and Sunny Deol, faced intense media scrutiny during his final days.
In a song I love for its blend of indescribably beautiful lyrics and soulful tune, Dharmendra appears in a memory, mixed with nostalgic sunlight filtering in through windowless chinks of an ancient, abandoned fortress.
We shared the same birthday. (8th December) He was my co-star in seven films. I knew he was not keeping good health.
One of the most exciting aspects of this restored version is the original ending envisioned by director Ramesh Sippy, where Thakur finally avenges his family by defeating Gabbar Singh.
Coming from a background in classical dance, she relied on her expressions and gestures while performing. But according to her, this style did not match what the director expected.
Looking back, Hema Malini feels grateful that she agreed to do the role. From action sequences to comedy and emotion, Basanti gave her a chance to showcase a different side of her acting.
As 'Sholay', one of the biggest milestones in Indian cinema, turns 50 this year, Hema Malini is feeling nostalgic, and ready to share it with the next generation in her family.
Actress, and politician Hema Malini was a part of an advisory panel at the ongoing WAVES 2025.
