Veteran actress and politician Hema Malini reacted to her late husband, legendary Bollywood star Dharmendra, not being included in the televised In Memoriam segment at the 98th Academy Awards. Dharmendra, fondly known as the “He-Man of Bollywood,” passed away in November last year at the age of 89 following age-related illness.
While his name appeared in the extended In Memoriam list on the Oscars’ official website, his absence from the live broadcast segment surprised many fans in India.
Interestingly, Dharmendra was honoured earlier this year at BAFTA Awards, where the ceremony paid tribute to the veteran actor during its In Memoriam segment. Speaking about that recognition earlier, Hema Malini had said that the late star’s influence went far beyond India and that he was admired by audiences worldwide.
After the Oscars telecast, several fans took to social media to express disappointment that the veteran actor was not mentioned during the ceremony’s televised tribute.
