The special screening of Ikkis, legendary actor Dharmendra’s final film, turned into an emotional evening for the Deol family — and those closest to them. Among the many familiar faces present was Ameesha Patel, Sunny Deol’s Gadar co-star, who later shared heartfelt moments from the night on social media.
What stood out most was a touching video of Ameesha hugging an emotional Sunny Deol, offering comfort as the family came together to honour Dharmendra’s last cinematic appearance.
Ameesha’s Night at Ikkis: Hugs, Memories, and Respect
In the video shared by Ameesha, she is seen warmly embracing Sunny Deol, interacting affectionately with Bobby Deol, and exchanging hugs with Tiger Shroff. She also posed for pictures with Abhay Deol and other guests on the red carpet, capturing the intimate, family-like atmosphere of the screening.
Alongside the visuals, Ameesha penned a heartfelt note praising the film and the Deol brothers for hosting the evening.
“Thank you @iamsunnydeol and @iambobbydeol for such a beautiful screening of our LEGEND Dharamji’s last film IKKIS. Such a fitting tribute,” she wrote.
She went on to describe the film as “sweet and endearing,” adding that Dharmendra’s charm and innocence made the experience deeply emotional and heartwarming. Ameesha also wished the team success, calling Ikkis a deserving farewell for a cinema icon.
Why Ikkis Matters
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis marks Dharmendra’s final appearance on the big screen. The veteran actor passed away on November 24, 2025, at the age of 89, just days before his 90th birthday.
The film stars Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, in the lead role and tells the powerful story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 1971 India–Pakistan war.
Final Words
The Ikkis screening wasn’t just a film event — it was a moment of remembrance, gratitude, and quiet celebration of a life that shaped generations of Indian cinema. Ameesha Patel’s presence and her emotional support for Sunny Deol reflected how deeply Dharmendra’s legacy extends beyond family, touching colleagues and friends who grew up admiring him.
As audiences prepare to watch Ikkis, it stands not just as a war story, but as a final salute to a legend.
