Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra’s daughter, Esha Deol, has refuted recent rumours about her father’s death, calling them completely false. The former actor took to her social media handle to clarify that Dharmendra is in stable condition and on the road to recovery.
In her post, Esha expressed disappointment over the misinformation being circulated by sections of the media and urged everyone to refrain from spreading unverified news. She also appealed to the public and media to respect the family’s privacy during this time and conveyed gratitude for the well-wishes and prayers for her father’s recovery.
The actor, known for his immense contribution to Indian cinema, had been hospitalised last week as his health began to deteriorate. Sources revealed that Dharmendra had been kept in the ICU for several days to limit visitors. However, his condition became critical on Monday afternoon, prompting an increase in visits from family members and sparking concern across the film fraternity. Over his illustrious career spanning more than six decades, Dharmendra appeared in over 300 films and is celebrated as one of the most charismatic and versatile stars of Hindi cinema.
Earlier, on November 3, Dharmendra’s wife and veteran actress Hema Malini had shared an update regarding his health. When she was approached by photographers at the airport who inquired about the actor’s well-being, she responded briefly, indicating that she was fine but appeared visibly concerned about her husband’s health at the time.
Last night people from the film fraternity visited the hospital to check in. Shah Rukh Khan along with his son Aaryan Khan visited last night. Ameesha Patel was seen living the hospital teary eyed. Govinda too rushed in last night.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh gave condolences to the family on a tweet which he later deleted as Esha Deol squashed reports of her father's well being.
