The news of his demise has left all his family members, friends and fans in a state of shock. For the unversed, the veteran actor had to be rushed to Breach Candy Hospital earlier this month after he faced severe respiratory issues. Dharmendra’s impact was such that he was referred to as the He-Man of Bollywood. With his impeccable acting prowess, Dharmendra won audience’s love for over six decades. His last on-screen appearance will be seen in Ikkis, which releases on December 25. In a video that has gone viral, Salman Khan was seen arriving at Mumbai’s Crematorium Centre.

The announcement of his passing has plunged the entire film industry and countless fans globally into profound sorrow. His family has not yet officially confirmed the news of his death. Messages of tribute and deep appreciation keep pouring onto social media. While fans grieve his passing, they also celebrate his remarkable path as a brilliant and adaptable performer. Undoubtedly, Dharmendra has a remarkable career and succeeded in establishing a legacy of power and adaptability.
Back on November 11, actor Hema Malini broke her silence on false reports surrounding Dharmendra’s health. She refuted all rumours that the star had passed away. Hema took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her disappointment over the reports.
“What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy,” Hema Malini wrote.
The rumours, had started on November 10 and sparked massive concern among fans and the film fraternity. But Dharmendra’s family was quick to declare them false. His daughter, Esha Deol, too had issued a strong statement on Instagram
She wrote, “THE MEDIA SEEMS TO BE IN OVERDRIVE AND SPREADING FALSE NEWS. MY FATHER IS STABLE & RECOVERING. WE REQUEST EVERYONE TO GIVE OUR FAMILY PRIVACY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS FOR PAPAS SPEEDY RECOVERY.” Esha had also reassured fans that the actor was under medical care and reportedly stable. Dharmendra was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital yesterday (November 10) after his health turned worse.

Dharmendra, the actor who carved a path of legacy, has passed away at the age of 89. With a six-decade career, featuring in over 300 films, the actor was a pillar of Bollywood. His last film Ikkis, is slated to be released next year.
The actor was earlier admitted to Breach Candy Hospital. Later, he was discharged. According to his family, the actor was doing better following his treatment at home. On November 24th, an ambulance outside his residence sparked concerns amongst his fans, with celebrities reaching the Juhu Crematorium. However, Karan Johar and Boman Irani hailed the actor’s legacy on their official social media handle, confirming the death news.
Karan Johar emotionally noted, “It is an end of an ERA….. a massive mega star… the embodiment of a HERO in mainstream cinema… incredibly handsome and the most enigmatic screen presence … he is and will always be a bonafide Legend of Indian Cinema… defining and richly present in the pages of cinema history … but mostly he was the best human being… he was so loved by everyone in our industry …. He only had immense love and positivity for everyone … his blessings, his hug and his incredible warmth will be missed more than words can describe …. Today there is a gaping hole in our industry … a space that can never be filled by anyone … there will always be the one and only DHARAMJI… we love you kind Sir…. We will miss you so much…. The heavens are blessed today…. It will always be my blessing to have worked with you…. And my heart says with respect, reverence and love…. Abhi Na jao chodke…. Ke dil abhi bhara nahi……”

Boman Irani took to his Instagram handle to confirm the news, and noting a heartfelt message, “It is painful to write this…But, as we rewind that reel of joy that he brought to millions like me, the teardrop drops down one’s cheek with gratitude and awe. A face of rugged handsomeness, yet he exuded kindness like no other. Intense when he had to be and yet boyish and funny on another day. He had something for everyone. Romantic for some, macho for the other, but benevolent for all. As he stands up on that Giant Water Tank in the Sky, we say goodbye and will always be grateful for the wonderful memories.”

Kajol wrote, “The OG of the Good Man is gone and the world is poorer for it.. somehow it seems like we are only losing the good people in it. Kind to the core and loved always. RIP Dharamji.. with love always”

However, an official confirmation is yet to come.

America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, a storied event that has somehow inspired both Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary series, The American Revolution, and the yet-to-be-determined UFC White House fight card next June. So naturally I jumped at the chance to experience a bespoke I Love NY travel itinerary spanning all the revolutionary revelry across New York City, the Hudson Valley and the Capital-Saratoga regions. From fabled Revolutionary War sites to ancient ale houses, read on for the only 18^th century-themed journey you’ll likely ever need. 

New York City

Despite my firm belief in the separation of church and state, the fact that George Washington worshipped at St. Paul’s Chapel in the Financial District was all I needed to know when it came to dorking out at our first Manhattan-based destination. The latest incarnation was built in 1790 and barely survived 9/11 whilst serving as a respite for first responders who used this Georgian architecture gem as a place to nap in-between endless rounds of rummaging through the rubble. From there we hit the venerable Fraunces Tavern  (established as a drinkery in 1762 and built in the very debatable year of 1719).

’Twas here where Washington bid a watery-eyed adieu to his officers in 1783, ’tis the site of our first Department of Foreign Affairs/War Offices and where Alexander Hamilton hung out with Aaron Burr a week before their infamous duel. Fraunces also continues to be the scene of many an overpriced Soldier Teddy Bear souvenir crime. (I once wrote a New York Times piece about their museum’s refurbishment of Revolutionary War hero Baron Wilhelm von Steuben’s battle-worn decanter kit and was pleased as patriotic punch to see it on display in their Long Room.)

As for supper, we dined at famed Garment District meat mecca Keens Steakhouse. Original proprietor Albert Keen, who opened the joint in 1885, was as well known for his A-list clientele as he was for the kitchen’s fabled mutton chops. But this legendary eatery’s enduring legacy are the 50,000-plus, long-stemmed clay pipes that line the ceiling. These churchwarden treasures are roughly 15-inches long, emblazoned with the handwritten number assigned to each owner and kept on the premises, since they were far too fragile to transport. Celebrity puffers included Buffalo Bill Cody, Babe Ruth, Theodore Roosevelt, plus Albert Einstein, as well as contemporary fans Tom Hanks and the ironically anti-smoking former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

It’s a delightful tradition that is held particularly close to this reporter’s tobacco-stained heart due to the fact that I also penned aTimes feature devoted to their then general manager who eventually found and presented me with a pipe that my godfather bought me, when I was a baby, back in the seventies. Not only do I still occasionally buy some overpriced Perique so as to puff upon my Lord Of The Rings-looking receptacle, but feel super colonial with every accidental inhale. 

Putnam & Orange Counties

The next morning, we ventured north to view 18^th century nuggets within the Putnam History Museum. (Did you know that local Loyalists to the crown were forced to wear GREEN uniforms, rather than the British coats-of-red, whilst fighting their neighbors?) This overall township is a Norman Rockwell-esque dream, complete with dirt roads that are civically protected from the modern evils of pavement.

From there it was onto a tour of West Point. Visiting the nation’s first military post has always been on my bucket list. Located within an awe-inspiring bend on the Hudson River, this 18^th century fort later became home to the United States Military Academy boasting grads like Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, Ulysses S. Grant and the traitorous Benedict Arnold. Guess which of those alumni doesn’t have an on-campus statue? From there, our crew hit Fort Montgomery, which is sadly the scene of a big ole 1777 loss, but still a gorgeous display of stone ruins which continues to offer up new artificats. So much so that security constantly kicks out morons with metal detectors. 

My favorite bit regarding The Orange Inn–the Washington-slept-here boutique hotel standout where we stayed–is that it’s right next to the Goshen town courthouse which contains the skull, within the mortar of their entrance, of tried-and-hanged Loyalist raider Claudius Smith. According to Amanda Dana, executive director of the Orange County New York Film Office, the traitor’s ghost is omnipresent within this property and ironically “clears his nonexistent throat a lot.”

Dutchess, Clermont & Albany Counties

The next morning, we took a 1.28-mile jaunt atop Poughkeepsie’s Walkway Over The Hudson. This 1889-constructed, New England-to-the-Midwest railway link was, in 2009, (and a bit like Manhattan’s wonderful Highline) repurposed into the longest pedestrian bridge in the world. From there, we deviated from our Revolutionary War-themed adventure via a visit to the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. America’s first presidential library was off limits due to the recent government shutdown. We were, however, allowed to stroll around their 800 acres that make up FDR’s old stomping grounds. This busy day included an amazing tour of the Clermont State Historical Site. (Check out their exhibit on the “romantic friendship” between former owner of this 1777-built mansion/signer of the Declaration of Independence, Robert R. Livingston, and fellow founding father, John Jay). 

Off we then went to the Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site. Revolutionary War hero-turned-Senator Philip Schuyler, was much more than just the father of two daughters who featured prominently with a certain Broadway behemoth, (Alexander Hamilton actually married Eliza Schulyer within this decorated-General’s home). From there we hit Albany’s wildly impressive New York State Museum. Don’t miss their ongoing reconstruction of a 1790-built gunner boat, found within Manhattan landfill back in 2010. Dinner and drinks followed at The Olde English Pub. It’s one of the capital’s oldest surviving buildings, going back to at least the 1730s.  

Saratoga County

Our tour was timed to hit Victory Season at Saratoga’s Living History Weekend, where Revolutionary War scenes are annually recreated on the original 1777 battlefield that hosted America’s first big win. This year’s festivities were held at the Fort Hardy Visitors Center, where the Brits finally laid down their arms, rather than their usual, eight-mile battlefield. Either way, I love the smell of musket powder in the morning. Our final night out was at the Olde Bryan Inn, which has been a Saratoga Springs stalwart since 1773. And I love their pewter pint Mug Club tradition, which kinda harks back to that whole Keens Steakhouse pipe puffing membership experience.
