Inside Dharmendra’s prayer meet: A musical tribute marked an emotional farewell

Dharmendra’s prayer meet in Mumbai turned into a quiet, dignified celebration of the legendary actor’s life, with a musical tribute becoming the emotional centrepiece of the evening. Held at Seaside Lawns, Taj Lands End in Bandra, the ceremony was titled Celebration of Life and brought together family, friends, and colleagues who had shared decades of memories with the late star.

According to an ANI report, a group of artists performed a special musical tribute to honour Dharmendra’s journey on and off screen. The performance was designed to reflect the warmth, heroism, and charm that defined his career, and the atmosphere shifted between remembrance and gratitude. Members of the Deol family, including Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Karan Deol, stood together throughout the ceremony, thanking attendees with folded hands as they received an overwhelming outpouring of support.

The guest list reflected the immense influence Dharmendra had across generations.

Their presence underscored the collective grief felt across the film industry, where Dharmendra remained a towering figure for more than six decades.
