Bollywood woke up to a wave of grief on November 24 2025 when news broke that Dharmendra the man who defined heroism for an entire generation had passed away at the age of 89. Fondly remembered as the “He-Man” of Hindi cinema he was not just admired for his on-screen charisma but also loved for his grounded gentle nature off-screen.
After months of declining health he breathed his last in Mumbai and his family opted for a quiet dignified funeral at the Pawan Hans Crematorium. Only close relatives friends and a few industry colleagues were present a farewell as understated as the man himself.
But even before the flowers at his cremation site had wilted speculation around his massive fortune began circulating online especially concerning whether his daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol would inherit an equal share.

Will Esha and Ahana receive a share of Dharmendra’s wealth?
Dharmendra’s estate valued between Rs 400-450 crore includes prime real estate business ventures a farmhouse luxury cars and a long-standing production house. Reports immediately began hinting at possible tensions between his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol and his daughters from his marriage with Hema Malini.
But according to Deccan Chronicle a close family friend has rubbished any claim of discord. The source shared that the family is still grieving and that the idea of a dispute at such a time is not only inaccurate but insensitive.
Sunny Deol the elder son is said to be firm about honouring his father’s wishes which reportedly includes ensuring that Esha and Ahana receive what is rightfully theirs. The source stated that the family bond remains intact despite rumours.

Is there any inheritance dispute within the Deol family?
The insider dismissed all speculation adding “These stories about inheritance disputes are rubbish and very ill-timed. No one is a pauper here. There will be no drama no dispute. In fact Hema Malini and her daughters are not inclined to make any demands on Dharamji’s property. But Sunny will not keep them out of the family inheritance. One thing is for sure: Esha and Ahana will be part of the Deol family as their father would have wished.”
The statement makes it clear that the daughters will not be sidelined and that the family is united on this matter.

What did Dharmendra leave behind?
Dharmendra’s wealth spans decades of hard work in films and business. His legacy includes:



A sprawling 100-acre Lonavala farmhouse


A luxurious bungalow in a prime Mumbai neighbourhood


The “Garam Dharam” dhaba chain and the “He-Man” restaurant in Haryana


A selection of high-end cars
