The family of late actor Dharmendra chose a private funeral for the legendary cine icon, leaving fans disappointed. In a recent conversation with filmmaker Hamad Al Reyami, actress Hema Malini shared the reasons behind the decision, revealing that Dharmendra's final days were extremely painful and difficult for the family to bear. Hema Malini, still grieving the loss of her husband, spoke to Hamad Al Reyami about the challenges they faced during Dharmendra's final days. 'His condition in his final days was cruel and painful, even for us to see,' she said, adding that the family couldn't bear to witness him in that state. The couple's love story is well-documented, with Hema Malini often sharing stories of Dharmendra's passion for writing. In a poignant moment, she revealed that Dharmendra had always wanted to publish his poems, but time ran out. 'Now, strangers will come and write about him, while his own words never saw the light of day,' she said, her words a testament to the pain of losing someone so dear. The family's decision to keep the funeral private was a difficult one, but Hema Malini explained that it was made out of respect for Dharmendra's wishes. 'He never wanted anyone to see him weak or ill, even his closest relatives,' she said, her voice trembling with emotion. The outpouring of love and respect for Dharmendra has been overwhelming, with fans and colleagues from the film industry paying their last respects. A prayer meet, called Celebration of Life, was held in Mumbai last week, with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and other celebrities in attendance. Dharmendra's legacy continues to inspire, and his contribution to cinema will be remembered for generations to come. As Hema Malini so poignantly put it, 'My forever hero, legendary Superstar DHARMENDRA.'
