MUMBAI, Nov 24 (Bernama-PTI) — Dharmendra, one of India’s most enduring stars who sparkled bright right through a remarkable 65-year career spanning 300 films ranging from “Satyakam” to “Sholay” died here on Monday days ahead of his 90th birthday, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
The much loved actor, who lived most of his life in the blazing arclights of publicity, was cremated at the Pawan Hans crematorium in Mumbai’s Ville Parle suburb quietly and with little fuss.
Till the end – and even after that – his family made no comment on his death.
Dharmendra, who would have turned 90 on Dec 8, had not been keeping well for a while and was in and out of hospital.
Finally, on Nov 12, a day after several media houses reported his death and his family requested privacy, Dharmendra was discharged and taken to his Juhu home where he breathed his last.
