Death casts long shadow over Bollywood

MUMBAI: Over the course of 2025, Bollywood lost several well-known names such as Dharmendra, Asrani, Manoj Kumar and Pankaj Longtalents whose work left a lasting imprint on cinema and popular culture.

Each passing left behind memories, milestones and void. As curtains are set to fall in 2025, the industry pauses to remember those who took their final bow.

November 2025 was a testing time.

November began with concern after the veteran actor Dharmendra was admitted to hospital following breathing complications. Weeks later, the anxiety turned into grief for the Deol family.
