Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra has been hospitalised for over a week at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital. The legendary star was admitted following complaints of breathlessness last week.
Fondly known as the “He-Man of Bollywood,” Dharmendra’s hospitalisation has sent shockwaves across the nation. Fans across the country are praying for his speedy recovery.
Dharmendra has always been active on social media, often sharing glimpses of his daily life, fitness routines, and heartfelt messages with fans.
His last Instagram post before hospitalisation, on October 29, was the trailer of his upcoming film Ikkis, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan. The war drama also stars Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, and marks Dharmendra’s final cinematic appearance.
Just weeks before he was admitted, on October 2, the veteran actor had shared a festive message on Dussehra. In the video, Dharmendra was seen sitting on a tractor in what appeared to be a village. He was surrounded by villagers. Smiling and full of life, he wished his fans good health, saying, "Bhagwan lambi sehat de."
Addressing his fans, he said, "Dussehra ki dher saari shubhkamnaye. Bhagwan aapko lambi sehat de, khushiyaan de."
Throughout his illustrious career spanning over six decades, Dharmendra has delivered several timeless classics such as Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Satyakam, Phool Aur Patthar and many more. His charm, versatility, and larger-than-life screen presence earned him immense love and respect across generations.
Celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda, Ameesha Patel and Salman Khan visited Breach Candy hospital to meet the actor on Monday night.
His family members are also with him at the hospital.
