Yesterday, after the reports of his death surfaced, Hema Malini and Esha Deol took to social media to dismiss the false news
Veteran actor Dharmendra, 89, who was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, has been discharged Wednesday (November 12) morning, a doctor from the hospital confirmed. The doctor also said that his family, including sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, decided to take the actor home, where his treatment will continue.
The actor, reportedly, was hospitalised on October 31 after he complained of breathlessness. However, later, his team confirmed that the Sholay star was taken to the hospital just for a routine check-up. On November 10, reports started doing the rounds that he was on a ventilator support and was critical. Even rumours of his death surfaced, post which Hema Malini and Esha Deol took to social media to dismiss the false news.
Dharmendra discharged from hospital
On Wednesday early morning, several videos on social media showed an ambulance arriving at and leaving Dharmendra’s residence, following which a Breach Candy doctor confirmed that the actor has been discharged and he will be treated at home.
"Dharmendraji has been discharged from the hospital around 7.30 am. He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him home treatment," Dr. Prof Pratit Samdani of Breach Candy Hospital told PTI.
