The 79th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) 2026 proved to be an emotional and huge event for the Indian film industry. While the Manipuri film Boong made headlines by winning the Best Children's and Family Film award, it was the tribute to late Dharmendra that touched hearts across the globe. Dharmendra was featured in the prestigious In Memoriam segment of the ceremony, alongside international icons like Diane Keaton, Brigitte Bardot, and Gene Hackman.
