Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani, a former couple, will be co-hosting a prayer meet in New Delhi for the late Dharmendra, a beloved Bollywood icon. This event, scheduled for December 11, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, Janpath, New Delhi, is a testament to the enduring impact of Dharmendra's life and career.
The prayer meet is a significant gathering, with Esha and Bharat, who divorced in 2024 after 12 years of marriage, joining forces to honor their shared connection with Dharmendra. Their two daughters, Radhya and Miraya Takhtani, will also be in attendance, symbolizing the strength of family bonds and the legacy of a beloved star.
Dharmendra's death at 89 marked the end of an era in Bollywood. Known for his charm, versatility, and humility, he left an indelible mark on the industry and the hearts of millions across generations. His passing was a shock to the nation, and the tribute events that followed have been a testament to his enduring legacy.
Hema Malini, Dharmendra's widow and a veteran actress, organized a Gita Paath at her residence to pay tribute to her late husband. Her heartfelt birthday note for Dharmendra, posted on December 8th, the date that would have been his 90th birthday, expressed the depth of her grief and the joy of their shared memories. She wrote, 'Dharam ji. Happy birthday my dear heart. More than two weeks have passed since you left me heartbroken, slowly gathering up the pieces and trying to reconstruct my life, knowing that you will always be with me in spirit.'
The prayer meet is a chance for fans and colleagues to come together and remember Dharmendra's life and work. It is a reminder of the power of art and the enduring impact of a true icon, inviting everyone to reflect on the legacy he left behind.
