Mumbai: Late actor Dharmendra gifted his ancestral property to his nephews. According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the actor gifted the land, valued at Rs 5 crore, to his uncle’s sons to ensure their and their families’ security. The actor, born in Nasrali with ancestral ties to Dango in Ludhiana, shared an emotional bond with his place of birth.

During his formative years, Dharmendra lived in a humble home built with mud and brick. The house is still intact and is taken care of by the actor’s relatives. Despite moving to Mumbai and creating a professional and personal career of his own, the actor kept returning to his native. As per sources, Dharmendra visited Dango after the shoot of the film in 2013. The villagers recollected seeing Dharmendra stepping out of his car and touching the soil of his courtyard to his forehead.

The heart of Indian cinema has lost one of its brightest lights.
