Old Post

In the last few days, social media and messaging platforms were flooded with alarming claims that legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra had passed away. Videos and posts circulated showing false visuals, and several online sources exaggerated his condition, creating widespread confusion among fans.

What’s Being Spread?

Some rumors claimed that Dharmendra was on a ventilator or in critical condition. Others reported his death entirely, prompting an outpouring of grief and panic across social media. Many of these claims were entirely unverified.

Dharmendra’s Actual Condition:

According to reliable sources and official statements from the family, Dharmendra, the 89 years old actor, who will turn 90 this December, was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital due to breathlessness. The actor is under observation and receiving proper medical care. Earlier this year, he underwent an eye-graft surgery, but there is no connection between that procedure and his current hospital visit.

Family Statements:

Dharmendra’s daughter Esha Deol confirmed that he is “recovering and responding well to treatment.” His sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, along with his wife Hema Malini, have been visiting him regularly and ensuring he is comfortable. Sunny Deol’s team has explicitly requested that fans and media avoid spreading rumors and respect the family’s privacy. Several Bollywood colleagues visited the hospital to offer their support to the family.

Final Update: The Truth

The truth is clear, despite the viral rumors and unnecessary panic, Dharmendra is very much alive until now. He is stable, under medical observation, and responding well to treatment. The death rumors circulating online are entirely false. Until confirmed by reliable sources or an official statement from the family, his fans should not believe or share whatever is trending on social media.
