Veteran Bollywood star Dharmendra’s family has confirmed that he has returned home after a brief hospitalization due to an undisclosed health issue.
According to Indian media reports, the actor will continue to recover at home after he was rushed to Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai due to difficulty breathing.
Soon after, the news of the actor’s death shocked fans around the world, but separate statements from his wife Hema Malini, daughter Esha Deol and son Sunny Deol confirmed that the reports were false.
Following his discharge, the actor’s doctor told PTI: “Mr. Dharmendra Deol has been discharged this morning from Breach Candy Hospital at 7:30 am. His treatment and recovery will continue at home.”
Dharmendra’s manager Amit Tuli also confirmed: “Mr Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue to recover at home.”
“We kindly request the media and public to refrain from further speculation and respect the privacy of him and his family during this time.
“We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers and well wishes for his continued recovery, good health and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”
However, ET now reported that a source claimed, on condition of anonymity, that Dharmendra’s “health is not in very good condition.”
