Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra<\/strong>, 89, has been admitted to Mumbai\u2019s Breach Candy Hospital<\/strong> and is currently under observation<\/strong>, confirmed his wife and actress Hema Malini<\/strong> on Monday (November 10, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The yesteryear superstar, known lovingly as the \u201cHe-Man of Bollywood\u201d<\/strong>, is said to be stable but continuously monitored<\/strong> by doctors, even as concerns about his health sent waves of worry across the film industry and among millions of fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hema Malini took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an emotional update on her husband\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thank everyone for their concern about Dharam ji who is in hospital for observation. He is being continuously monitored and we are all with him. I request you all to pray for his welfare and speedy recovery,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Her post came amid swirling rumours about Dharmendra\u2019s health, with several reports falsely suggesting his condition was critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A public relations representative<\/strong> for the Deol family also released an official statement to clear the air, confirming that Dharmendra is \u201cstable and under observation\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr. Dharmendra is stable and under observation. Further comments and updates will be shared as available. Kindly don\u2019t indulge in spreading false rumours regarding his health. We request everyone to pray for his speedy recovery and respect the family\u2019s privacy,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The clarification came after rumours surfaced that the Sholay<\/strong> actor had been placed on a ventilator, a claim Sunny Deol\u2019s representative<\/strong> firmly denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the family has assured fans that Dharmendra\u2019s vitals are stable, a film industry insider told PTI<\/strong> that the veteran actor\u2019s health has been \u201cnot in a great state\u201d<\/strong> lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDharamji\u2019s health is not in a great state. He has been in and out of the hospital for several days,\u201d the insider said on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n However, doctors have not released a detailed medical bulletin yet, and no official diagnosis has been disclosed to the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to reports, Hema Malini<\/strong>, Sunny Deol<\/strong>, and Esha Deol<\/strong> are all present at the hospital by Dharmendra\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Superstars Shah Rukh Khan<\/strong> and Salman Khan<\/strong> also visited Breach Candy Hospital to check on the veteran actor and express their support to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actor Govinda<\/strong> was spotted entering the hospital premises as well, reflecting the deep respect Dharmendra commands across generations of Bollywood stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With social media abuzz over the actor\u2019s health, Sunny Deol\u2019s spokesperson<\/strong> urged fans and media outlets to avoid speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is no truth to the claims that Dharmendra ji is on life support. He is being monitored and is responding to treatment. Please refrain from spreading unverified news,\u201d the spokesperson stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The Gadar 2<\/strong> star, who shares a close bond with his father, is reportedly spending most of his time at the hospital along with other family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dharmendra, born Dharam Singh Deol<\/strong> in 1935 in Punjab, is one of Hindi cinema\u2019s most beloved and enduring icons. His career spans over six decades, with legendary performances in films like Sholay (1975)<\/strong>, Chupke Chupke (1975)<\/strong>, Phool Aur Patthar (1966)<\/strong>, Satyakam (1969)<\/strong>, and Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Affectionately called \u201cGaram Dharam\u201d<\/strong>, he became a household name for his charm, macho image, and natural acting style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years, he has balanced intense action roles with heartwarming comedies and touching romantic dramas \u2014 making him one of the most versatile actors in Indian cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn\u2019t the first time the 89-year-old actor has faced health concerns. In the past few years, Dharmendra has been admitted to the hospital multiple times due to age-related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier in 2022, he was hospitalized after suffering a muscle pull in his back. The actor had reassured fans with a short video from his home after recovery, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t overdo things\u2026 stay healthy and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fans are now hoping for a similar reassuring message from the veteran star once he recovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As news of his hospitalisation broke, fans and celebrities alike flooded social media with wishes for the actor\u2019s speedy recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Messages with hashtags like #PrayForDharmendra<\/strong> and #GetWellSoonDharamJi<\/strong> began trending on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actor Anil Kapoor<\/strong> wrote, \u201cSending love and strength to Dharam ji and the entire Deol family. The strongest man I know \u2014 he will bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Director Karan Johar<\/strong> shared, \u201cThe industry\u2019s most loved man. Prayers for your quick recovery, Dharam ji.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For fans who grew up watching Dharmendra\u2019s films, the news of his illness has stirred deep nostalgia and emotion. Even in his late 80s, Dharmendra appeared in the 2023 hit Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani<\/strong>, directed by Karan Johar, where audiences praised his touching performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His brief but impactful role reminded fans of his enduring screen presence and charisma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of now, doctors at Breach Candy Hospital are continuing to monitor Dharmendra\u2019s condition closely. The family has not announced any discharge date yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hospital sources say he is under \u201cobservation for age-related complications\u201d and responding positively to treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The family has requested privacy while thanking fans for their overwhelming concern and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While rumours continue to swirl, the official word remains that Dharmendra is stable, under observation, and surrounded by family<\/strong>. For now, all eyes are on Breach Candy Hospital as Bollywood waits for its \u201cHe-Man\u201d to recover and flash that trademark smile once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bollywood Legend Dharmendra Hospitalised, Family Urges Fans to Pray Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, 89, has been admitted to Mumbai\u2019s Breach Candy Hospital and is currently under observation, confirmed his wife and actress Hema Malini on Monday (November 10, 2025).
