Dharmendra's Ashes Were Immersed In Har Ki Pauri In Haridwar By His Grandson, Reveals Priest

Dharmendra's passing away at the age of 89 has left his fans deeply in pain. While the Deol family continues to mourn in privacy, the media and the legend's fans want to know what went wrong with the superstar, who was full of life. On December 4, 2025, his ashes were immersed in Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, which is extremely important as per Hindu customs. The priest shared the details of Dharmendra's last passing away ritual. 

Priest revealed details of Dharmendra's last rites 

Recently, in an interview with ANI, priest, Rohit Shrotriya revealed that all the family members of Dharmendra were present. They wanted to immerse the ashes at Har Ki Pauri. However, neither Sunny Deol nor Bobby Deol performed the ritual. Rather, it was Dharmendra's grandson, Karan Deol, who performed the immersion. The ritual of pind daan was also performed. The priest said:

"Their family members came here... They wanted to immerse the ashes at Har Ki Pauri, but for some reason, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol could not go, and Dharmendra ji's grandson Karan (Deol) performed the immersion of the ashes... The ritual of 'pind daan' was also performed... Sunny Deol's entire family, Bobby Deol's entire family, was involved in this..."

It is worth mentioning that Dharmendra's second wife, Hema Malini, and her daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, were absent from this ritual as well. They were also not a part of Dharmendra's prayer meet. The distance between the two families is clear, and after Dharmendra's death, it is made even more significant as Hema Malini had hosted a Gita path for her late husband while his first family was celebrating his life with industry veterans.

Dharmendra's two wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, hosted two separate prayer meets 

For the unversed, the first prayer meet named 'Celebration of Life' was hosted by Prakash Kaur and her sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol at Taj Lands End. The second one was hosted by Hema Malini and their daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. She organised the last ritual for her husband at her bungalow. 

Several close family friends, including Sunita Ahuja and her son, Yashvardhan, were present at Hema Malini's home. Actress, Madhoo also attended the prayer meet at Hema Malini's home. On the other hand, the prayer meet hosted by Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol was attended by who's who of Bollywood, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sidharth Malhotra, Abhay Deol, Aryan Khan, and others. 

Hema Malini's last post for Dharmendra 

Taking to her X account, Hema Malini penned an emotional post and revealed how Dharmendra was everything to her. She called him a loving husband and adoring father of their two daughters, Esha and Ahaana. For Hema Malini, Dharmendra was not just a husband, but a friend, philosopher, guide, poet, and her go-to person. He has been with her in all the ups and downs of life. She wrote:

"He was many things to me. Loving Husband, adoring Father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, Friend, Philosopher, Guide, Poet, my ‘go to’ person in all times of need - in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been through good times and bad. He endeared himself to all my family members with his easy, friendly ways, always showing affection and interest in all of them."

We pray for strength for the family as they deal with the huge loss!
