WATCH: Rekha bows her head before Dharmendra’s Ikkis poster in a touching tribute at special screening, video goes viral
As the year ends, Bollywood bids farewell to Dharmendra, with his final film Ikkis set to release on January 1, 2026, and a heartfelt tribute at its special screening.
This year, as it comes to an end, it has taken away one of our favorite actors—Dharmendra. Just a few days before his birthday, the He-Man of Bollywood passed away on November 24 at the age of 89. While the actor is no longer with us, his last film Ikkis will serve as a special tribute from all his fans. Ahead of the release, the makers of Ikkis organized a special screening of the film. On December 28, 2025, a special screening of Ikkis was held in Mumbai, attended by several well-known faces from the industry, including Rekha, Tabu, Salman Khan, Jeetendra, Manish Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Genelia D’Souza, Riteish Deshmukh, and others.
Rekha’s Special Gesture for Dharmendra
While many photos and videos from the event are circulating on the internet, one in particular has caught the eyes of netizens. In a video that has now gone viral, veteran diva Rekha is seen arriving at the venue, and as she started posing for the camera, she blew a kiss to Agastya Nanda’s poster in the background.
She wore a light green and gold saree, kept her makeup minimal, and accessorized with sunglasses to complete her look. For those who don’t know, Agastya Nanda is portraying the lead role of Arun Khetarpal in the film.
