Legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra passed away on 24 November 2025, leaving the entire film fraternity in shock and grief. Known for his earthy charm, humility, and powerful screen presence, Dharmendra delivered countless superhit films across decades.
He married twice—first to Prakash Kaur, with whom he had four children, and later to Hema Malini, with whom he shared two daughters. After his demise, Hema Malini organised a special prayer meeting in Vrindavan to honor his memory.
A video from this emotional gathering is now viral on social media—and unexpectedly, Hema Malini has found herself at the receiving end of trolling.
Why Hema Malini Is Being Trolled Over the Viral Video
During the prayer meeting held at the Shri Krishna Janmashtami Ashram in Vrindavan, Hema Malini delivered a heartfelt speech remembering Dharmendra’s poetic side, his love for Urdu shayari, and his long-cherished but incomplete dream of writing a book.
She revealed touching details:
“He had a natural gift for poetry… no matter the situation, he would instantly recite a sher. I often told him to write a book; his fans would love it. He was serious about it… but the dream remained incomplete.”
However, once the video surfaced online, netizens began criticizing her, alleging that:
- She had repeated the same speech previously at Delhi’s prayer meet
- She attended the ceremony wearing sindoor, which some users questioned
The trolling quickly escalated, overshadowing the emotional tribute.
Social Media Reacts Strongly
The viral clip on Instagram has triggered a wave of mixed reactions. While many praised her composed tribute, others questioned her choices.
A few comments include:
“You live in Krishna’s holy city Mathura… you should follow Sanatan dharma. Avoid sindoor after your husband’s death.”
“This speech was already prepared… she repeated the same one at the Delhi prayer meet.”
Several users defended her as well, saying mourning is personal and should not be judged publicly.
Dharmendra’s Unfinished Dream Resurfaces
Hema Malini’s words brought attention to a lesser-known aspect of Dharmendra’s life—his love for poetry and Urdu verses. Fans are now discussing whether his unpublished writings could eventually be compiled, honoring his artistic legacy.
The Viral Video Continues to Spark Debate
The video continues to spread rapidly, with thousands of comments discussing not just the prayer meet, but Dharmendra’s profound contributions to cinema.
