Dharmendra
Passes
Away:
The
legendary
actor,
who
earned
an
immense
fan
following
across
the
globe
with
his
6-decade-long
acting
career,
passed
away
today
at
the
age
of
89.
Dharmendra
breathed
his
last
at
his
residence
in
Mumbai,
due
to
an
age-related
illness.
The
Sholay
actor’s
last
rites
were
held
at
Pawan
Hans
crematorium,
where
his
second
wife,
Hema
Malini
and
their
elder
daughter,
Esha
Deol
were
seen
arriving
at
the
funeral
in
an
emotional
state.
Dharmendra
Passes
Away;
Hema
Malini
And
Esha
Deol
Bid
Tearful
Farewell
The
legendary
actor’s
second
wife,
the
celebrated
Bollywood
actress
Hema
Malini,
was
seen
arriving
at
Pawan
Hans
crematorium
in
a
deeply
emotional
state
this
afternoon.
Before
the
Sulthana
Razia
actress
arrived,
the
duo’s
elder
daughter,
Esha
Deol
was
also
seen
arriving
at
the
funeral
in
white.
As
expected,
the
mother-daughter
duo
was
utterly
devastated
with
the
passing
of
Dharmendra
and
was
in
no
situation
to
address
the
media.
Both
Hema
Malini
and
Esha
were
often
spotted
at
the
hospital
along
with
the
rest
of
the
Deol
family
ever
since
Dharam
Ji’s
health
deteriorated.
However,
the
Pratigya
actor
was
soon
shifted
back
to
his
Juhu
residence
after
he
showed
slight
improvement
in
health.
For
the
uninitiated,
Dharmendra
had
been
living
with
his
first
wife,
Prakash
Kaur,
for
the
last
few
years.
He
and
Hema
Malini
were
living
separately,
citing
his
health
issues
as
the
main
reason.
