Dharmendra, legendary Bollywood actor, was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital last week after experiencing breathlessness, raising concern among fans.
The 89-year-old remained under close medical observation while doctors conducted routine tests.
A family insider told PTI that the decision to keep him in the hospital was precautionary.
“He is old and needs proper attention from the doctors. There’s nothing to worry about,” the source said.
Hema Malini, Dharmendra’s wife, visited the hospital and asked fans to pray for his recovery. “We’re hoping for his speedy recovery,” she said, showing her deep concern for her husband.
However, Sunny Deol was also seen at the hospital, while Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan dropped by to offer their support during this critical time.
The legendary icon had a career spanning decades and is known for some of Hindi cinema’s biggest hits.
The Sholay star's evergreen charm and dedication to cinema have made him a beloved figure in Bollywood.
Fans and colleagues have been sending heartfelt wishes, hoping for his full recovery.
Moreover, the hospital stay is said to be precautionary, allowing doctors to monitor Dharmendra carefully and ensure he receives the best care as he approaches his 90th birthday next month.
