Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol get teary-eyed at Dharmendra's prayer meet

The film world gathered in Mumbai on Thursday as Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol stepped out for the first time after losing their father Dharmendra. The brothers were seen meeting people who had come to offer support, their presence drawing quiet attention at the memorial gathering.

The family had held a private farewell earlier in the week, followed by a prayer service at a Mumbai hotel where several known faces arrived to honour the iconic actor. Images from the meet began circulating soon after, showing the brothers greeting guests with a composed and heartfelt calm.

Family Comes Together

The gathering was arranged in an open lawn setting at a popular Bandra hotel where relatives and close associates were present throughout the evening. Members of the Deol family, including Bobby, Karan, and Abhay, were seen standing with the rest of the group, receiving guests and acknowledging the steady flow of visitors.

A large framed portrait of Dharmendra placed at the venue became the focal point for many who paused briefly before joining the family. The atmosphere remained quiet and steady as people continued to arrive until the service concluded.

Industry Pays Its Respects

Several prominent names from the film fraternity attended the memorial. Many arrived quietly, exchanged a few words with the family, and took a moment near the portrait before leaving. The show of respect from across generations reflected the influence Dharmendra carried over decades.

The presence of leading stars alongside filmmakers, composers, and long time collaborators added to the sense of collective remembrance. Each visit seemed to underline the lasting place Dharmendra held in the industry.

Dharmendra passed away earlier in the week at the age of eighty nine. He had been recovering at home following a brief stay at a Mumbai hospital. His farewell ceremony took place a day after his passing, with Thursday’s memorial serving as an opportunity for colleagues and well wishers to come together and reflect on a long career and a life that touched many.
