Bollywood legend Dharmendra dies at the age of 89

One of Bollywood’s most iconic stars — actor, producer, director, and politician Dharmendra — has passed away at the age of 89 due to heart failure. The legendary actor was the husband of Bollywood star Hema Malini. He had been battling chronic heart disease for many years, and in recent days his condition worsened, leading to him being placed on a ventilator.

Throughout his career, Dharmendra acted in hundreds of films, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Indian cinema. Uzbek audiences especially know him from his roles in the films “Seeta Aur Geeta” and “Alibaba Aur 40 Thieves.” These roles further increased his popularity across Asia.
