At the 98th Academy Awards, the ‘In Memoriam’ segment omitted veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who died in November 2025, despite the tribute running longer than usual. His name appeared only on the official list by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, while he had earlier been honoured at the 79th BAFTA Awards.
Los Angeles: Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who passed away in November 2025, didn't find a mention in the 'In Memoriam' segment at the 98th Academy Awards.
The tribute segment at this year's Oscars ran for 15 minutes longer than in previous years with special remembrances for Hollywood legends Rob Reiner, Diane Keaton and Robert Redford.
Despite the extended runtime, Dharmendra's name was absent from the broadcast.
The "Sholay" star, however, was included in the official online list of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) alongside five other Indian film personalities -- actors Saroja Devi, Manoj Kumar, Jayasree Kabir, Kota Srinivasa Rao and documentary filmmaker S Krishnaswamy.
