Veteran actor Dharmendra passed away on November 24, just days before what would have been his 90th birthday. In his memory, his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, along with their families, are planning a quiet tribute at his farmhouse in Khandala, as per a report in Hindustan Times. The family has also decided to open the gates of the property to fans who wish to pay their respects and celebrate the late actor’s legacy.
Family Plans Tribute for Dharmendra
According to sources, Sunny and Bobby want the day to be more than a private remembrance and chose to turn Dharmendra’s birth anniversary into a tribute to his long career and impact on Indian cinema.
A source shared with Hindustan Times, “Sunny and Bobby have decided to visit their father’s farmhouse to honour his memory and legacy. While discussing their plans, they realised that many fans wished they had the chance to meet or see Dharmendra one last time. That’s why they’ve decided to open the farmhouse gates for fans who want to come, pay their respects, and meet the family. The family will also meet the fans at the farmhouse.” Preparations are already underway, with arrangements being finalised ahead of the visit.
The insider added that while it is not a formal fan event, the family wants to keep the space open to anyone who wish to come. They are also considering transportation support, as the route to the farmhouse is not easily accessible, although this depends on the expected turnout.
Earlier this week, Sunny and Bobby Deol, accompanied by Sunny’s son Karan Deol, immersed Dharmendra’s ashes in the Ganges River at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar.
