Legendary Hindi cinema actor Dharmendra has passed away at the age of 89. The beloved star—adored across generations—had recently been discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on November 12 after undergoing treatment. At the time, doctors had stated that he was stable and recovering at home.
Dr. Rajiv Sharma of Breach Candy Hospital had earlier told IANS that Dharmendra left the hospital “fully satisfied” with the treatment and that all arrangements had been made for his home care. He urged the public not to spread misinformation and instead pray for the actor’s recovery, hoping he would celebrate his 90th birthday on December 8.
However, sources had earlier indicated that Dharmendra’s condition was critical on November 10, with the actor being placed on life support. Prior to this, he had been kept under strict medical observation since October 31.
Dharmendra, regarded as one of Indian cinema’s most handsome and influential stars, enjoyed a remarkable career spanning over six decades and more than 300 films. Known for delivering the highest number of hit films in Hindi cinema, he was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2012.
The actor made his debut in 1960 with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere and rose to fame with 1960s classics such as Ayee Milan Ki Bela, Phool Aur Patthar, and Aaye Din Bahar Ke. His superstardom continued through the 1970s and 1980s with a string of blockbusters including Ankhen, Shikar, Jeevan Mrityu, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Seeta Aur Geeta, Jugnu, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Sholay, Pratiggya, Dharam Veer, Chupke Chupke, The Burning Train, and many more.
In the later years of his career, Dharmendra excelled in memorable character roles in films such as Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Life in a… Metro, Apne, Johnny Gaddaar, Yamla Pagla Deewana, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya—his last released film in 2024.
He was set to appear next in Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, also starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikandar Kher, scheduled for release in December.
Dharmendra leaves behind an unparalleled legacy, remembered as one of Hindi cinema’s most enduring, admired, and cherished stars.
