Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who has graced the film industry for over sixty years, is approaching his 90th birthday. Recently, his fans expressed concern after he was hospitalized, but it has since been clarified that his admission was for a routine health check-up.
Some reports suggested that Dharmendra was on a ventilator at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, leading to speculation about his health. This information, however, has been debunked, as the veteran actor is not on a ventilator, and claims regarding his death are also unfounded.
A report from NewsX confirms that the rumors surrounding Dharmendra’s condition are false. Despite the alarming speculation, he has been hospitalized since October 31, 2025, but is under observation without being on any life support. Sources close to his family, including Sunny Deol, have reassured fans by dismissing these widespread rumors.
Sources reported that Sunny Deol visited his father in the hospital, further alleviating concern about Dharmendra’s wellbeing. According to these sources, if there were serious health issues, the entire family would have been present by his side.
In addition to the rumors about his hospital stay, social media buzz suggested that actress Hema Malini had rushed to the hospital. Despite her presence, it has been confirmed by reliable sources that Dharmendra is not on a ventilator and is simply recuperating.
Concerns about Dharmendra’s health had previously arisen when reports indicated he was experiencing breathlessness. However, these speculations were later refuted by both family members and close associates, emphasizing that he was admitted for a standard check-up and that there was no cause for alarm.
In recent months, there has been growing concern regarding Dharmendra’s physical and mental health, amplified by reports of him living alone at his farmhouse. Bobby Deol addressed these rumors, clarifying that Dharmendra was indeed at the farmhouse but was not alone; he has been spending quality time with his first wife. Bobby described the farmhouse as a “paradise” for his parents, contributing to their well-being.
Despite the falsehoods circulating about his health, Dharmendra’s family has consistently assured the public that he is in good spirits and recovering well. The veteran actor continues to be a beloved figure in Bollywood, and his fans remain hopeful for his continued well-being.
