Bollywood continues to grieve the passing of legendary actor Dharmendra, and on Wednesday, an emotional moment unfolded as his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol immersed his ashes in the Holy Ganga.

The ceremony took place in Haridwar, where close family members gathered in silence to offer their final prayers. A video from the rituals surfaced online, showing Sunny and Bobby standing together in deep grief, gently releasing the ashes into the sacred waters.



A final goodbye to Bollywood’s He-Man
