Dharmendra’s passing left the entire nation in shock in November 2025. However, all eyes were on veteran actor’s two families, who were in immense pain. But eyes were raised when Hema Malini did not attend a prayer meet hosted by Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur, and sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. Now, the Gaiety Galaxy owner called it a good decision.
Hema Malini made the right decision not to attend the prayer meet
The owner of Gaiety Galaxy revealed that Hema Malini did the right thing by not attending the prayer meet hosted by the Deol family. In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Manoj Desai liked Hema Malini’s decision and stated that, before any controversy, she had hosted a separate prayer meet for him. The theatre owner further stated that it was good she didn’t attend the prayer meet, as if someone had said something to her, the event would have turned messy. He was quoted as saying:
“Before any controversy or such talk could happen, she organised a separate prayer meet for him. It was good that she didn’t come. Hema and Dharmendra ji were very close, but if somebody had said something to her, the whole prayer meet would have been messed up. So it was good that she organised a prayer meet separately.”
