The family of veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, including his wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol, were seen heading to the crematorium at Vile Parle in Mumbai on Monday.
An official statement on the veteran actor's health is awaited.
Actors Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan too arrived at the crematorium.
Dharmendra's health reportedly took a turn for the worse since noon on Monday, with an ambulance subsequently seen entering his Juhu home. Soon, the residence became a hive of activity, with vehicles of celebrities seen lining up outside the Juhu residence.
Dharmendra, the 89-year-old actor, was battling ill health due to heart-related issues and was receiving treatment at home after being discharged from Breach Candy hospital on November 12 following a weeks-long stay.
After rumours about the actor's death circulated in a certain segment of media, the family issued a statement to say that Dharmendra was responding to the treatment and their "privacy" should be respected.
