Late actor Dharmendra’s prayer meet will take place on November 27, revealed the family members. The veteran actor breathed his last earlier this week in his Juhu residence. He was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital for some time after his health reportedly deteriorated. After a couple of weeks, he was shifted back to his home, and the family issued a statement saying that his treatment will continue from there. However, the actor passed away at the age of 89 on November 24.
He was cremated in the Pawan Hans crematorium. Several celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, among others, had come to pay their tributes.
Now, as per the Deol family, Dharmendra’s prayer meet will take place on Thursday. It has been titled The Celebration of Life. The invite features a photo of the late actor from his early days as an actor. The prayer meet will take place in Taj Lands End, Bandra, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm today.
Several Bollywood celebrities have been visiting the Deol residence to stand by them in their time of grief. Among those who were seen reaching the residence in the last couple of days were Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Bhavna Panday, Farah Khan, Jeetendra, Varun Dhawan, Rakul Preet Singh, Asha Parekh and more.

Ever since Deepika Padukone exited Prabhas-starrer Spirit reportedly citing work shifts, the debate regarding professional work hours became the hottest topic in the film industry. The discussion about standardizing working hours – pushing for an 8-hour workday – has been ongoing. While actresses like Rashmika Mandanna have also weighed in supporting the need for healthier and regulated work hours, Keerthy Suresh is the latest actress to voice her opinion.
