Celebrating Dharmendra's 90th, Deol family opens Khandala farmhouse to fans
What's the story
The Deol family is planning a heartfelt tribute to mark what would have been legendary actor Dharmendra's 90th birthday. His sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, are reportedly set to open the doors of their father's beloved Khandala farmhouse for fans on December 8. This gesture will allow admirers of the veteran actor, who passed away on November 24 at age 89, to pay their respects and celebrate his legacy.
Tribute plans
Fans can 'come, pay their respects, and meet the family'
A source close to the family told Hindustan Times, "Sunny and Bobby have decided to visit their father's farmhouse to honor his memory and legacy." "While discussing their plans, they realized that many fans wished they had the chance to meet or see Dharmendra one last time." "That's why they've decided to open the farmhouse gates for fans who want to come, pay their respects, and meet the family."
Preparation details
Arrangements for the tribute are underway
Preparations for the tribute have already begun, with arrangements being finalized. The source added, "It's not that they've organized a special fan event or anything, but they have opened the doors for people who want to come in and honor their father's legacy." "As for arranging transport, they may consider it since the route to the farmhouse isn't easily accessible to everyone."
Ongoing tributes
Deol family has been honoring Dharmendra's memory
This tribute at the Khandala farmhouse is the latest in a series of rituals the Deol family has held since Dharmendra's passing. His funeral was held in Mumbai, attended by close relatives and film industry colleagues. Soon after, Sunny, Bobby, and Karan Deol immersed his ashes in the Ganges at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar. On November 27, they hosted a prayer meet called Celebration of Life with stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in attendance.
