Veteran actor Dharmendra, 89, has been discharged from Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital and is now receiving treatment at his Juhu home. The decision to continue his care at home was made by his family, according to his doctor. Dharmendra had been admitted for medical tests several days ago, but the nature of his condition remained undisclosed. Recent rumors about his demise sparked widespread concern, prompting his daughter Esha to issue a statement on Instagram. 'My father is stable and recovering,' she reassured fans. 'Please give our family the necessary space and respect our request for privacy.' Dharmendra's wife, actress-politician Hema Malini, also condemned the media's 'irresponsible' coverage of his health, calling it 'unforgivable.' Several Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan, visited Dharmendra during his hospital stay. With a career spanning over six decades and more than 300 films to his credit, Dharmendra is a cinematic legend celebrated for his iconic performances in classics such as Sholay and Ayee Milan Ki Bela. His recent appearance in Karan Johar's romantic comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023 is a testament to his enduring charm and talent.
