Survived by two spouses, Prakash Kaur and actress Hema Malini, he leaves behind a legacy through his six children, notably actors Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.

Some of his most notable films include Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, Chupke Chupke, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, and Yaadon Ki Baraat. As he advanced in his career, Dharmendra adapted seamlessly to character roles in films like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Johnny Gaddaar, and Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani.

His last film, Ikkis, is set to premiere next month.

Conclusion: The He-Man of Bollywood has departed. Dharmendra’s indelible mark on cinema will not be forgotten.
