Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra is currently under medical observation at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, prompting concerns and speculation regarding his health. The 89-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital on November 10, 2025, leading to a flurry of unverified reports, including claims that he was on ventilator support.

Amidst the swirling rumors, Dharmendra's wife, actress and politician Hema Malini, has provided an update, stating, "We're hoping for his speedy recovery". She was also seen visiting him at the hospital.

Adding to the reassurance, Dharmendra's son, Sunny Deol, has dismissed the reports of his father being on ventilator support. According to ETimes, Sunny Deol's team clarified that Dharmendra is "getting better" and is "under observation," urging everyone not to worry.

News of Dharmendra's hospitalization has triggered considerable concern among fans and colleagues, given his iconic status and enduring legacy in Indian cinema. This recent admission follows a prior visit to the same hospital in late October, which was described as a routine check-up with some additional examinations. Just a week ago, Hema Malini was seen at the airport, responding positively to inquiries about Dharmendra's health with a smile and a gesture indicating "okay". She also expressed her gratitude to fans and the media for their concern.

While no official medical bulletin has been released, hospital sources indicate that Dharmendra is being closely monitored by doctors. Industry sources suggest that the actor was taken to the hospital after complaining of breathlessness.

Dharmendra's career spans nearly six decades, and he remains an active figure in the film industry. His next release is Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan, co-starring Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia.
