Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra continues to receive medical supervision at Mumbai's prestigious Breach Candy Hospital, with numerous film industry stars paying visits to check on his condition. The 88-year-old legendary actor, affectionately known as the 'He-Man' of Indian cinema, has been hospitalized while his family maintains that he is steadily recovering.
Bollywood Stars Show Support
On Tuesday evening, Aamir Khan arrived at the hospital accompanied by his girlfriend, Gauri Spratt, to visit the ailing actor. A video shared on social media platform Instagram captured the couple's arrival, showing Aamir appearing concerned while Gauri attempted to shield her face from the paparazzi's cameras. Both were seated in the back of their vehicle, clearly avoiding media attention during this sensitive time.
The visit from Aamir Khan follows similar gestures from other prominent Bollywood figures who have been showing their support. On Monday night, several industry heavyweights including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda, and Ameesha Patel were spotted visiting Dharmendra at the same medical facility. The outpouring of concern from colleagues and fans alike has been substantial, with well-wishes and prayers flooding social media platforms from across the nation.
Family Appeals for Privacy and Condemns False Reports
Dharmendra's wife, veteran actress and politician Hema Malini, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address growing concerns about her husband's condition and condemn the circulation of misleading information. She firmly stated that her husband is "recovering" and expressed frustration with channels spreading false news about his health.
"What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering?" Hema Malini wrote in her social media post. She emphasized the need for respect and privacy during this challenging period for the family, urging media outlets to act more responsibly.
Adding to the family's appeal, Dharmendra's daughter Esha Deol shared an update on Instagram to calm concerned fans. "The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering," she clarified. Esha politely requested that the family be given their needed privacy while thanking everyone for their prayers and support for her father's speedy recovery.
Dharmendra's Recent Work and Future Projects
Despite his current health challenges, Dharmendra has maintained an active presence in the film industry. The veteran actor was most recently seen on screen in the film 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya', showcasing his enduring talent and appeal to audiences. Looking ahead, fans can anticipate seeing him in the upcoming project 'Ikkis' alongside Agastya Nanda, which is scheduled for release on December 25, 2025.
As the beloved actor focuses on his recovery at Breach Candy Hospital, the entertainment industry and his countless admirers continue to send messages of love and support. The family's repeated requests for privacy underscore the need for respectful reporting during such personal health matters, even for public figures of Dharmendra's stature.
