Legendary Star Dharmendra On Ventilator Support After Health Issue: Reports
Legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra has been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital after experiencing breathlessness last week. According to reports, the 89-year-old cinema icon is currently on ventilator support, and the family is closely monitoring his health. More updates regarding his condition are awaited.
A family source told a news agency that Dharmendra was taken to the hospital on Thursday after doctors recommended a detailed check-up due to his age. “He is old and needs proper attention from the doctors. There’s nothing to worry about,” the insider reassured.
Earlier this year in April, Dharmendra underwent an eye graft surgery, and during that time, he was spotted with a bandage on his right eye. Despite this, the veteran actor told the media, “Abhi bohot dum hai, abhi bhi bohot jaan hai… Meri aankh mein graft hua hai. Love you audience. I’m strong,” showing his characteristic optimism and strength.
Career Highlights
Dharmendra is celebrated for films like Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Dream Girl, Hukumat, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and many more. His long-spanning career has made him one of Bollywood’s most loved actors.
Upcoming Projects
The veteran actor has an exciting lineup of films. He is slated to appear in the highly anticipated war drama 'Ikkis', directed by Sriram Raghavan. The film tells the untold true story of India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, with Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda making his debut.
Dharmendra was also seen in the 2023 hit 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' alongside Ranveer Singh, Shabana Azmi, and Alia Bhatt. In 2024, he appeared in 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
Bobby Deol, Dharmendra’s youngest son, recently shared in an interview that the veteran actor continues to reside with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, at their Khandala farmhouse near Mumbai.
Despite his age, Dharmendra continues to be a powerhouse in Bollywood, balancing health challenges while gearing up for exciting projects ahead.
