Dharmendra had strong ties to his ancestral village Dango in Ludhiana district, where he spent the first three years of his life. The modest mud-and-brick house, now worth crores, still stands as a reminder of his humble beginnings. He wrote his will around eight to ten years ago, deciding to leave the ancestral property, spanning nearly 2.5 acres, to his uncle’s children. Family members say this gesture came from a sense of responsibility and deep emotional connection rather than financial considerations. The property is estimated to be worth around Rs 5 crore, although Dharmendra reportedly never cared about its monetary value.
