The much-anticipated screening of Delhi Crime Season 3 has been cancelled following two deeply saddening developments — the tragic blast near Delhi’s Red Fort and concerning news about veteran actor Dharmendra’s health.
Actress Huma Qureshi, who stars in the acclaimed Netflix Original, took to Instagram to share the announcement. In her heartfelt note, she wrote:
“Given the tragic incident in Delhi and the distressing news about Dharmendra ji’s health, we have cancelled today’s screening for Delhi Crime Season 3. We were looking forward to celebrating together, but such times call for quiet respect.”
She expressed empathy for those affected by the Delhi tragedy and urged everyone to show compassion and patience during this difficult period. Huma also thanked fans and media for their continued support and added:
“The team is incredibly proud of this season, and we can’t wait to share it with you all soon. I’m sure you’ll be watching and sending us love then. Love & prayers, Huma.”
Delhi Blast: A Nation in Shock
The cancellation follows a devastating explosion that shook the capital on the evening of November 10, 2025, near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station. A Hyundai i20 car reportedly exploded around 6:50 PM, resulting in at least nine deaths and more than twenty injuries.
Authorities have termed it a possible terror-related incident, as the blast also caused nearby vehicles to catch fire. Emergency responders, police, and medical teams rushed to the scene to control the situation and assist victims.
The tragedy has left the entire nation grieving, with condolences pouring in from across political and entertainment circles.
Dharmendra’s Health Update: ‘Recovering and Stable’
Adding to the somber atmosphere, reports about Dharmendra’s health further saddened the film fraternity. The veteran actor is currently under medical care at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties and age-related complications.
His wife, Hema Malini, and daughter, Esha Deol, have both confirmed that he is “recovering well and responding positively to treatment.” The family urged fans not to believe in false rumours about his health circulating online.
Delhi Crime Season 3 to Premiere on November 13
While the screening event has been cancelled, Delhi Crime Season 3 will still premiere globally on Netflix on November 13, 2025.
The series, which has earned international acclaim for its powerful storytelling and performances, continues to explore complex criminal cases inspired by real-life events. This season is expected to deliver another gripping narrative, with Huma Qureshi and the cast bringing their signature intensity to the screen.
As the country mourns and hopes for healing, both the tragic Delhi blast and the health concerns of a beloved legend have served as reminders of the fragility of life — and the need for empathy and unity in testing times.
