Sunny Deol to include Esha-Ahana in Dharmendra's estate: Report
What's the story
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol will not exclude his half-sisters, Esha and Ahana Deol, from their father Dharmendra's inheritance. The veteran actor passed away at the age of 89 on November 24. A source close to the family told Bollywood Hungama that these rumors of inheritance disputes are baseless. Deol and his brother, Bobby Deol, are the children of Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur, while Esha and Ahana are the daughters of Dharmendra and his second wife, actor Hema Malini.
Family unity
'No 1 is a pauper here'
The source said, "These stories about the inheritance dispute between Sunny-Bobby and Esha-Ahana are rubbish, and very ill-timed. No one is a pauper here. There will be no drama, no dispute." "But Sunny will not keep them out of the family inheritance." "Right now, he is too bereaved to think about the road ahead. But one thing is for sure: Esha and Ahana will be part of the Deol family as their father would have wished."
Remembrance
The family held separate prayer meets for Dharmendra
The Deol family recently organized two prayer meets to honor the legacy of the late actor. While one was organized by Kaur and her children, Deol, Ajeeta, Vijeta, and Bobby, the other was hosted by Malini, Esha, and Ahana. At Malini's home, notable attendees included Sunita Ahuja, her son Yashvardhan, and actor Madhoo. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan, Suniel Shetty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others, attended the other prayer meet.
