Legendary actor Dharmendra was hospitalised on after complaints of breathlessness. Now multiple reports also state that his health is critical. It has reportedly urged doctors to place him on ventilation in the ICU. His health is being observed closely.

Following this, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and many other stars have visited the actor at the hospital. His family, including Hema Malini, Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol were also seen entering the hospital premises. While the family has shared about his recovering health time and again, certain media reports suggest that the Sholay actor has already passed away. Now, daughter Esha Deol and wife Hema Malini have come to clarify the rumours and strongly react to the false narratives.

“The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable & recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa’s speedy recovery,” wrote Esha. Hema shared, “What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy.”

Reports have been doing rounds on social media but the family has strong urged Dharmendra’s fans to stick to the latest updates by them.

Interestingly, the veteran actor is also gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie Ikkis. It is directed by Sriram Raghavan. The movie also stars Agastya Nanda. It will be his first theatrical release. Agastya made his acting debut with the OTT release The Archies in 2023. Dharmendra was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. In 2023, he was seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. There were also reports of the makers planning to work on the Shabana Azmi-Dharmendra love story from the movie, but nothing concrete has been shared. Alongside Dharmendra, the 2023 film starred Ranveer Singh, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt, Tota Roy Choudhury and Churni Ganguly in leading roles.

We wish for his speedy recovery.
