However, no one has suffered the actual loss more than his children. After Dharmendra's death, we learn that his children - Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajeeta Deol, Vijeta Deol, Esha Deol, and Ahana Deol - also lost their father's ancestral property. A 5-acre plot of land with a mud-and-brick home on it, in Dango, Ludhiana district, no longer belongs to Dharmendra's kids.

What is the ancestral property of Dharmendra?

Veteran superstar Dharmendra, born in Nasrali, has ancestral ties to Dango in Ludhiana district. The late star spent three formative years of his childhood in this quiet settlement, which included a mud-and-brick home. This modest home stands intact and is now valued in crores. The house is now lovingly cared for by relatives who have stayed there for decades.

Dharmendra gifted his home to...

As Dainik Bhaskar reported, Dharmendra had long ago authorised the property to his uncle's children, an act that honoured the responsibility his father had entrusted to him. As Dharmendra became a movie star, he moved to larger cities, but never cut his emotional bond with the land. Instead, he decided to expand it by transferring the ancestral estate, along with nearly 2.5 acres of land, to his uncle's grandsons so that they could live there securely with their families.

 

Who lives in Dharmendra's ancestral home now?

In 2015, Dharamendra reportedly signed the transfer papers of the property and gifted it to his nephews. The actor's gesture of gifting his ancestral property, estimated at around Rs 5 crore, to his nephews is widely acknowledged in the village. One of his nephews, Boota Singh, continues to work at a textile mill in Ludhiana and admires Dharmendra with affection. One of his relatives reportedly said, "He never thought of its value. For him, it was simply home." Dharmendra's last on-screen appearance will be in Ikkis, which is releasing on December 25.
