Indian actor Dharmendra is alive and recovering, his daughter Esha Deol confirmed after false reports about his death spread across Indian media and social platforms. The veteran actor, 89, had been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai for medical observation, leading to speculation about his health.
Esha Deol addressed the rumours directly in a post on her official social media accounts, requesting privacy for the family. She stated that Dharmendra was “stable and recovering” and asked fans to continue praying for his health.
She wrote that the media was spreading incorrect information and urged people not to believe unverified claims.
Earlier, widespread reports falsely claimed that Dharmendra had passed away following health complications. These claims circulated rapidly, prompting family members to issue clarifications. The family reiterated that the actor was under medical care and that updates would be shared when necessary.
Several Bollywood personalities, including Hema Malini, Sunny Deol, and other family members, were seen at the hospital to be with Dharmendra. Hema Malini later shared a message thanking fans for their prayers and concern, saying the actor was being monitored closely.
Dharmendra, one of the most celebrated stars in Indian cinema, was admitted for what was initially described as a routine check-up. Doctors later advised continued observation for further evaluation.
The family has requested the public and media to avoid spreading unverified information and to give them privacy during this time. Fans across India and abroad continue to send prayers and well-wishes for Dharmendra’s recovery.
