Dharmendra’s Ashes to Be Immersed at Haridwar’s VIP Ghat; Family Keeps Ceremony Private

The ashes of Bollywood legend Dharmendra are set to be immersed at the VIP Ghat in Haridwar today, in a private ceremony attended solely by family members. Sunny Deol, along with other relatives, has arrived in the holy city to perform the final rites, keeping a respectful distance from media coverage.

Following his death on November 24 at the age of 89, Dharmendra’s last rites were conducted at the Pawan Hans crematorium in Vile Parle, Mumbai. The veteran actor, who had been battling a prolonged illness, passed away peacefully at his Mumbai residence. His funeral saw the presence of several prominent film personalities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Sanjay Dutt.

The immersion preparations at Haridwar have been accompanied by heightened security measures to ensure a calm and orderly event. The family is currently staying at the Pilibhit Hotel, where the ashes have been securely kept. Dharmendra’s grandson, Karan Deol, had collected the ashes from the crematorium two days after the funeral.

The decision to conduct a private immersion reflects the family’s wish to honor the actor without public fanfare, amid ongoing media attention following his passing. Dharmendra, often called the “He-Man” of Bollywood, leaves behind a legacy spanning over six decades in the Hindi film industry, with iconic roles that have shaped generations of cinema lovers.

As the family gathers for this spiritual ceremony, fans across India continue to pay tribute to the beloved actor through social media and other personal remembrances. The immersion at Haridwar marks the final chapter in honoring Dharmendra’s life and his immense contribution to Indian cinema.

The VIP Ghat, known for hosting dignitaries and high-profile ceremonies, will witness this solemn occasion today, closing a significant chapter in Bollywood history with reverence and familial intimacy.
