Veteran superstar Dharmendra passed away in Mumbai on November 24 at the age of 89. He had been battling breathing complications and was hospitalised at Breach Candy Hospital a few weeks earlier. Though he initially showed improvement and was discharged to recover at his Juhu home, his condition reportedly worsened again, leading to further respiratory issues. Ultimately, Bollywood's He-Man breathed his last on Monday, and was cremated at the Pawan Hans crematorium. However, his sudden cremation has left many questions unanswered including why his body was not kept for public viewing for his fans and why he didn't receive state honours, despite being a Padma Bhushan awardee.
