Veteran Actor Dharmendra Is Healthy In Observation at Breach Candy Hospital

Veteran superstar Dharmendra has been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai and is currently under observation. He was placed on a ventilator due to breathing difficulties. His son Sunny Deol’s team released a statement confirming his condition, saying, “Mr. Dharmendra is stable and under observation. Further comments and updates will be shared as available. Request everyone to pray for his speedy recovery and respect the family’s right to privacy.” This news follows a recent hospital visit last week for a routine medical checkup, which sparked health concerns.

A week ago, his wife Hema Malini reassured the media that he was alright after the earlier hospital visit. Dharmendra, who lives at his Khandala farmhouse with his first wife Prakash Kaur, has relocated to the town amid worsening pollution levels in Mumbai. The actor, born in 1935 in Punjab, began his career in the early 1960s after winning a nationwide talent hunt competition organized by Filmfare and Bimal Roy Productions in 1958. This competition also later discovered Rajesh Khanna, another Bollywood legend.

Dharmendra quickly rose to fame with his charming looks, emotional depth, and effortless screen presence, excelling in romance, action, and comedy. Some of his most iconic films include Phool Aur Patthar, which established him as a leading man, and Sholay, where his portrayal of Veeru became legendary. His impeccable comic timing in Chupke Chupke and action-packed dramas like Yaadon Ki Baaraat solidified his image as the quintessential Bollywood hero.

Beyond his cinematic career, Dharmendra’s humility and charisma have made him a cherished figure both on and off screen. Fans and well-wishers are praying for his swift recovery and sending positive energy. The family has requested privacy during this time, and updates will be shared as they become available. His legacy continues to inspire generations, and his contributions to Hindi cinema remain unforgettable.
