Following the death of Bollywood legend Dharmendra, his ancestral property in Ludhiana, including a farmhouse and surrounding land valued at nearly ₹5 crore, has been transferred to his uncle’s grandsons. This means his sons Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and other family members no longer hold any legal claim to the estate.

Recognizing the decades of care and loyalty shown by his cousins, Dharmendra chose to formally hand over the estate to them, ensuring the land remained in responsible hands. Despite no longer being part of the Deol brothers’ inheritance, Dharmendra’s legacy in Indian cinema remains unparalleled.
