Actress Esha Deol has reacted after false reports of her father, veteran actor Dharmendra’s death, began circulating on social media on Tuesday morning. Addressing the misinformation, Esha took to her social media to reassure fans, stating that Dharmendra is stable and doing well.
"The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa's speedy recovery," she wrote.
Esha also disabled the comments section of her post.
Esha’s message came in the wake of panic following reports about the actor’s health. Dharmendra had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital last week. Earlier, reports claimed that he was on ventilator support, but Sunny Deol’s team had clarified late Monday night that the actor was stable and recovering.
Esha’s statement has helped calm worried fans and followers, who had taken to social media expressing their concern. Supporters have since flooded her posts with messages wishing the veteran actor a speedy recovery.
Dharmendra, known as the He-Man of Bollywood, has had a career spanning decades, delivering memorable performances across various genres.
