Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, the 89-year-old action hero known for iconic films like Sholay and Deewaar, was discharged from Breach Candy Hospital in south Mumbai on Tuesday morning, November 12, 2025, following a brief hospitalization that sparked widespread concern among fans and the film fraternity. The legendary actor, who has entertained audiences for over six decades with his rugged charm and versatile performances, left the facility at 7 a.m. under the supervision of his family, who opted to continue his treatment at home for comfort and privacy. Hospital sources confirmed the move, emphasizing that Dharmendra remains "recovering and stable," a reassurance echoed by close relatives amid swirling media speculation.
The discharge comes after Dharmendra was admitted earlier in the week, though specific details about the ailment were not disclosed by medical authorities or family members, respecting their request for discretion. Dr. Pratit Samdani, who oversaw his care, noted that ongoing monitoring would proceed domestically, signaling a positive trajectory in his recovery. This episode marks another chapter in the veteran's resilient health journey; at 89, Dharmendra has navigated age-related challenges while staying active in the industry, including recent cameo appearances that showcase his enduring spirit. His hospitalization briefly halted promotional activities but highlighted the deep affection he commands in Indian cinema.
Family members, including wife Hema Malini and daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, were visibly present during the discharge, with sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol coordinating support from afar. Esha Deol addressed the frenzy on Instagram, urging the media to curb "false news" and affirming, "My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy." Hema Malini, a former actress and politician, vented frustration on X (formerly Twitter) about irresponsible reporting, calling it "unforgivable" and pleading for respect toward their need for space. Sunny Deol's representative similarly debunked ventilator rumors, reinforcing the family's united front and calling for prayers over speculation.
