# Hema Malini's Heartwarming Smile: A Beacon of Strength After Dharmendra's Passing **In a moment that melted hearts across Bollywood**, veteran actress and politician Hema Malini was spotted flashing her signature sweet smile in public for the first time since her husband Dharmendra's tragic demise, leaving paparazzi emotional and fans hopeful.[2] Dharmendra, Bollywood's iconic 'He-Man' known for over 300 films, passed away on November 24, 2025, at age 89 in Mumbai after a brief hospital stay for breathlessness.[1][2][4] Surrounded by family—including his two wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, and children Sunny, Bobby, Esha, Ahana, Ajeeta, and Vijeta—his cremation at Pawan Hans Crematorium drew stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan.[3][4] A prayer meet followed at Taj Lands End in Bandra, though Hema and daughters Esha and Ahana were absent, reportedly grieving privately.[1][3] Hema's emotional tribute three days later poured out her grief: calling Dharmendra her "everything"—loving husband, adoring father, guide, friend, and poet—whose void "will last through the rest of my life."[1][4] She shared cherished memories and unseen photos, sparking debates and moving fans with lines like his warmth toward her entire family.[1] Yet, amid the sorrow, Hema showed resilience. Dressed gracefully in a green saree at a recent city event, she paused for paparazzi, greeted them warmly, and smiled sweetly—her first public beam since the loss.[2] This touching ETimes video captured the moment, evoking tears from photographers who admired her poise.[2] It's a reminder of the dream girl's enduring spirit, blending Bollywood romance with real-life fortitude.
