As his lifeless body adorned with flowers left for his final journey in an ambulance, eyes welled up with tears. Many renowned personalities from families and the film industry gathered to pay their last respects. Loved ones could hardly believe that Dheeraj was no longer among them. Pictures from the farewell show the grief of his family, with his wife and son unable to hold back tears. Alongside them, close friends and colleagues, including Raza Murad and Asit Kumar Modi, bid him farewell.

Social media was flooded with messages of sorrow and memories of a man whose acting inspired countless people. Some said they learned life lessons from his performances during childhood, while many mourned the end of an era.

Dheeraj Kumar was not only a talented actor but also a multifaceted personality who marked his presence as director and producer. His illustrious journey began in the 1970s and graced hit films like Roti, Kapda aur Makaan, Kranti, and Heera Panna. He also acted in over 21 Punjabi films and created more than 35 popular TV shows like Maayka, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, which became household names.

Though his face was known for laughter and warmth, behind the scenes lay a story many never knew. He struggled with his own battles but never ceased to bring joy and meaning through his art.

The void left by his passing is felt deeply in the film industry and by the fans who cherished him. A grieving wife lost her life partner; a son lost his guiding shadow.

They say artists never truly die—their work, their stories, and their smiles live on. Dheeraj Kumar’s legacy, his films, and the TV serials he created will forever remain alive in our memories.

From Filmi Kahaniyan, we offer our humble tribute and pray for strength and courage for his family in this difficult time. We urge viewers to type “Om Shanti” in the comments and pay their last respects to this great soul.

Namaskar.
