Hema Malini says her husband Dharmendra’s last message focused on keeping the family united. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Malini recalls that Dharmendra repeatedly emphasized the importance of spending time with their children and prioritizing family over other matters. She says he urged her to “be with the kids as much as possible,” and to make time for the family, describing this as especially important in an era when children often go their separate ways.
Malini also speaks about her bond with Dharmendra’s sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. She describes them as “wonderful” and “very sweet,” and says the family remains close even though they do not seek publicity. According to her, they are internally united and continue to consider themselves a happy family.
The reports note that Dharmendra died on 24 November 2025 at age 89, days before his 90th birthday, and that his final remarks were reflective of his values of togetherness and love for his family.
