Dharmendra health update: Veteran actor Dharmendra’s health has reportedly declined once more, prompting concern across the film industry and among fans worldwide. An ambulance was seen arriving at the actor’s Mumbai home, where barricades have now been put up, signalling increased activity around the residence.
His daughter, Esha Deol, was also spotted entering the house shortly after the medical team reached the location.
Dharmendra health update
Dharmendra had been unwell for a considerable period, and his condition had remained unstable for several weeks. He was treated at Breach Candy Hospital earlier this month, where he was admitted on October 31 for a routine check-up. However, his health deteriorated suddenly on November 10, leading to prolonged treatment at the hospital. After some improvement, he was discharged and taken home, where his care continued under supervision.
Reports suggested that Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur, had requested that his treatment be continued at home, and arrangements had been made accordingly. Although he’d been recovering gradually, fresh concerns surfaced today as his breathing difficulties reportedly returned, triggering an emergency response.
During his initial hospital stay, several well-known actors, including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda and Ameesha Patel, had visited to check on him. Their presence highlighted the respect and affection Dharmendra commands across generations of talent in the industry.
