In a relief for his millions of fans, veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who had been hospitalized following health complications, has now been discharged and is recuperating at home. The actor’s recent hospitalization at Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai, had sparked widespread concern and distress, even leading to unfounded rumors about his demise circulating rapidly on social media.
Putting an end to all speculation, Dharmendra’s family issued an official statement confirming his return home and requesting privacy to facilitate his recovery.
Official Family Statement
The statement released by the family confirmed the good news and expressed gratitude for the public’s support while strongly appealing for privacy:
“Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time. We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”
Further confirmation came from Dr. Pratit Samdani, who informed PTI: “Dharmendra ji was discharged from the hospital around 7.30 am. He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him treatment at home.”
The Timeline of Concern
Dharmendra was initially admitted to Breach Candy Hospital on October 31, 2025, after experiencing breathing difficulties. Public concern first spiked on November 1, but intensified again on November 10 when fresh reports surfaced claiming he had been rushed back to the hospital with renewed complaints of breathlessness.
This led to the rapid and unfortunate circulation of false death rumors, forcing the family to intervene publicly. Both his wife, Hema Malini, and daughter, Esha Deol, took to their official media handles to deny all false claims and assure fans that the actor was stable and recovering well under medical supervision.
With the actor now back home, the entire film fraternity and his fanbase are sending well wishes for a swift and complete recovery.
