Indian cinema’s legendary figure, Dharmendra, passed away today at the age of 89, leaving behind a void in the film industry that can never be filled.

News of the Bollywood He-Man icon’s death surfaced in the morning when an emergency response ambulance was seen outside his residence.

After that, his wife and actor Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol were seen arriving at the cremation ground dressed in white mourning attire. Later, Filmfare announced the actor’s death on its social media pages.

Following this development, several well-known personalities from Bollywood reached Pawan Hans Crematorium in Mumbai to attend his final rites, including Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salim Khan, and others.

The speed at which the Sholay star's final rites were carried out not only shocked his fans, but it also raised questions from them.

Reacting to the social media post of actors reaching for his cremation, a user commented, "Jitni jaldi yeh family le ja rahi hai last rites ke liye, lag raha hai bas wait hi kar rahe the."

Another user wrote, "Itni badi hasti ko is tarah vida kiya… it’s sad." 

"He should have been given a grand goodbye… very sad last rites," read another comment.

"Why are they rushing the cremation?" asked another user.

"Bahut disappointing last rite," and "Zindagi camera ke beech guzar di… aur aakhri safar itna private? Itne bade aadmi ko is tarah vidā karna theek nahi," were another comments under a pap's video.

Some users also speculated whether the quiet ceremony was intended to avoid media and paparazzi attention.

No official statement regarding the actor’s death has been issued by his family yet.
