Legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra breathed his last at the age of 89 in Mumbai.
The actor, fondly known as He-Man, was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital earlier this month due to breathing problems.
However, the veteran actor could not survive and died on Monday morning at the hospital.
His death marks the end of true Indian cinema and fans as well as celebrities pay their last respects to the actor’s illustrious legacy.
Looking back at his inspiring journey, Dharmendra’s acting career spanning six decades was filled with unforgettable performances in films like Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Phool Aur Patthar among other cinematic gems.
Meanwhile, the late actor’s upcoming film Ikkis will be his last film in which he played a significant role. It will premiere in theaters on December 25.

Several celebrities like Amitabh Bachan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and others have also reached the crematorium for the last rites.
Dharmendra is survived by six children. He shares four children – Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Vijeta Deol and Ajeeta Deol – with his first wife, Prakash Kaur.
