On November 25, numerous Bollywood celebrities were seen visiting the Deol household to extend their condolences to the grieving family.
During the evening of November 25, veteran actor and Dharmendra’s close friend for nearly five decades, Jeetendra, was spotted making his way to the Deol residence to comfort his friend's family during this difficult time. The actor, now in his mid-80s, appeared to walk slowly as he approached the grieving family. Both Hrithik Roshan and his father Rakesh Roshan also paid their respects to the Deol family.
