The 18-year-old son of director Ashwini Dhir, who is best known for his work on Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardar and Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, was killed in a car accident on November 23, 2024. Jalaj was reportedly traveling with three pals when the crash occurred, and he and one of them died as a result.
Ashwini Dhir's 18-year-old son was traveling with three friends on the Western Express Highway in Vile Parle when their car collided with a divider in a horrific incident that was reported by the Free Press Journal. Late at night, the group had departed Bandra for Goregaon.
Sahil Mendha, 18, was driving the car, and it was reported that he was drunk at
the time. As they approached the Sahara Star Hotel, Mendha lost control of the
vehicle, causing it to crash into the northbound side barrier between the
bridge and the service road.
Regretfully, Jalaj and another friend, Sarth Kaushik, who was sitting in the
rear seat, died from their injuries after being transported to the hospital.
Mendha was detained as a result of a statement made by Jedan Jimmy, the fourth
passenger in the vehicle. The police have sent samples of Mendha's blood for
analysis in order to confirm the presence of alcohol.
According to Jimmy, Mendha consumed two pegs of vodka when he and Jalaj visited
Jalaj's home in Goregaon on the evening of November 22. The gang decided to go
for a drive at about 3:30 in the morning.
After a short drive, Mendha took over the wheel and drove at 120 to 150 km/h.
When they reached the Sahara Star Hotel, Mendha lost control of the car due to
confusion, which led to the fatal collision.
Jimmy and Mendha were just slightly hurt, but Jalaj and Sarthak were seriously
hurt. With two bystanders' assistance, Jimmy hurried Jalaj to the trauma
facility at Jogeshwari East. After being tragically transported to Kokilaben
Hospital, Jalaj was declared dead.
Mendha brought Sarthak to Bandra's Bhabha Hospital, where he was pronounced
dead. After Jimmy informed the authorities about the regrettable incident,
Mendha was taken into custody.

His four best-known films are Son of Sardaar, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?, One Two Three, and Guest Iin London. Dhir is a writer who has contributed to films such as U Me Aur Hum and Krazzy 4.
