The 89-year-old has been in and out of hospital for weeks. The news follows the circulation of several videos on social media showing an ambulance arriving at and leaving Dharmendra’s residence.
Veteran actor Dharmendra was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai three days ago after experiencing breathing difficulties. Reports began circulating online that he had been placed on ventilator support, with some media outlets even prematurely announcing his death.
However, his daughter, Esha Deol took to social media to deny these rumours, writing: “The media seems to be in over‑drive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy.” Meanwhile his wife Hema Malini described the circulation of death reports as “unforgivable” and criticised irresponsible channels for spreading news about a person “who is responding to treatment and is recovering.”
Sunny Deol’s team had also issued a statement, sharing Dharmendra’s health update. They revealed that Dharmendra is responding to treatment and is recovering. “Sir is recovering and responding to treatment , let’s all pray for his good health and long life,” read the statement.
Several reports on the Internet suggested that the 89-year-old actor had been moved to the intensive care unit and placed on ventilator support. However, Sunny Deol’s team put the rumours to rest by sharing a statement on Monday that read, “Mr. Dharmendra is stable and under observation. Further comments and updates will be shared as available. Kindly don’t indulge in spreading false rumours regarding his health. Request everyone to pray for his speedy recovery and respect the family’s right to privacy. Team Sunny Deol.”
Several celebrities including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda and others went to the hospital to visit Dharmendra.
