Actor-politician Hema Malini organised a prayer meeting in remembrance of her late great actor-husband, Dharmendra. Friends, parliamentarians, and well-wishers gathered to attend the event at Ambedkar International Centre in Delhi on December 11. She gave a tearful speech, talking fondly of her partner for 45 years, who together were a hit pair on-screen in Hindi films.
Hema was accompanied by their daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. Dharmendra passed away at his Juhu residence on November 24. He was hospitalised for a brief while in early November 2025, at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital.
