His wife, Hema Malini, also voiced her outrage on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the irresponsible reporting. She called the spread of false news “unforgivable” and “extremely disrespectful.” Malini emphasized that Dharmendra is responding to treatment and recovering. She reiterated the family’s request for privacy and respect.
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.

Dharmendra was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties. He has been under medical supervision, and his current condition has brought relief to his fans.
The veteran actor was last seen in Karan Johar’s film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’. He is set to appear next in director Sriram Raghavan’s war drama ‘Ikkis’. This film is based on the true story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, who was martyred during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Agastya Nanda will portray Arun Khetarpal, with Jaideep Ahlawat also in a significant role alongside Dharmendra.
