The
evergreen hero of Bollywood Dev Anand, who passed away earlier this week, will
leave this world in his bodily form when his last rites are performed on Saturday.
The formalities will be carried out at Putney Vale, in London. The place is
known for its tranquil and serene atmosphere.
According to
the information released, the cremation will start exactly at 11:40 am local
time on Saturday. However, before finalizing London as the place for the star’s
cremation, the Government of India had made an offer to Dev Anand’s family to
bring his body back to Mumbai so that his last rites could be carried out in India.
However, it
was a family decision to cremate the star in London only. The decision was
pending as they were waiting for Kalpana Kartik, Dev Anand’s wife to reach London.
After a discussion with her and her daughter, it was decided that London would
be the place.
