Dharmendra back home! Veteran actor’s family ends hospital stay amid fan prayers

The 89-year-old was discharged at 7:30 am.

Dharmendra's family decided to take him home for treatment.

On Tuesday, Dharmendra's actress wife Hema Malini blasted several media reports over fake news of her husband's demise.

First Dharmendra's daughter Esha Deol refuted the media claims saying, "The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa's speedy recovery."

Later, Hema Malini wrote on X, "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."

Born in December 1935, Dharmendra will turn 90 on December 8, 2025. Known fondly as the ‘He-Man of Bollywood,’ he has been one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated stars for over six decades, with memorable performances in films such as Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Phool Aur Patthar, and Satyakam.

He was last seen in the romantic sci-fi film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. His upcoming project, Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, features Agastya Nanda- grandson of Amitabh Bachchan- in his debut role.

The film is slated for release on December 25, 2025.
