On Thursday (27 November 2025), the family of late superstar Dharmendra organized a prayer meet for him. The event, held at the Seaside Lawns of Taj Lands End in Mumbai, was named Celebration of Life. Dharmendra's first wife Prakash Kaur and his children Sunny Deol-Bobby Deol had organized this tribute meeting, which was attended by many big stars from Bollywood including Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai to Jackie Shroff and Vidya Balan. But one thing that irked everyone was the absence of Dharam Paaji's second wife Hema Malini. The question arises that why was Hema missing from Dharmendra's prayer meet?

Why did Hema Malini not attend Dharmendra's prayer meet?

According to a report by NDTV, Hema Malini was not invited to the prayer meet by Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. However, there is no official confirmation of this. It is being claimed that Hema Malini's two daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol were also not seen on this occasion.

Hema Malini kept separate puja for Dharmendra

On one hand, the Deol family had organized a tribute meeting for Dharmendra at Hotel Taj Lands End, while on the other hand, Hema Malini had organized a separate puja in her house for the peace of Dharmendra's soul. The video of Pandit reaching his house on Thursday was revealed. Not only this, many celebs also paid tribute to Dharmendra after reaching Hema Malini's house. These included Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja and sons Yashvardhan Ahuja, Mahima Chaudhary etc. Hema Malini's daughter Esha Deol and her ex-husband Bharat Takhtani were also seen on the occasion.
