The 98th Academy Awards, held in Los Angeles, celebrated the best of cinema this Sunday. However, the ceremony's In Memoriam segment has drawn attention for the exclusion of veteran Indian actor Dharmendra. The omission has caused disappointment among viewers, particularly in India, who noticed the absence of the actor during the tribute.Dharmendra passed away on November 24, 2025, after a prolonged illness. He was cremated in Mumbai and is survived by his wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, and his six children, including actors Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Esha Deol.
