Esha Deol's Emotional First Appearance After Dharmendra's Demise

• Esha Deol made her first public appearance at Mumbai airport after father Dharmendra's passing.
• She was seen in a dignified all-black outfit, visibly solemn, and refrained from smiling.
• A paparazzo's "How are you?" question visibly surprised her; she politely folded hands and left.
• Hema Malini held a prayer meet for Dharmendra in Mathura on December 14, sharing an emotional tribute.
• Dharmendra's final film, Ikkis, starring Agastya Nanda, is now slated for a January 1, 2026 release.

Why It Matters: Esha Deol's quiet public return and Hema Malini's tribute mark a somber period after Dharmendra's death.
