Veteran actor Dharmendra passed away on Monday, leaving the film industry and millions of fans in deep grief. A day after the news broke, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar visited Hema Malini at her Mumbai residence to offer his condolences. The meeting was quiet, personal and meant to show support during a difficult moment.

Ajit Pawar arrived at Hema Malini’s home on Tuesday afternoon. Sitting with her in the living room, he spoke to her for some time about Dharmendra’s contribution to Indian cinema and the legacy he leaves behind. Hema Malini, who shared a long and celebrated journey with Dharmendra on screen and in public life, was visibly emotional. The two talked softly, away from media noise, giving the moment the dignity it deserved.

The three sat together for a while, remembering Dharmendra as an artist loved by generations and a personality who remained grounded despite his legendary status. While the conversation stayed private, sources present said Ajit Pawar expressed that Dharmendra’s passing felt like the end of a remarkable era in Hindi cinema.
