Veteran Actor Dharmendra Admitted Unexpectedly After Routine Health Check

Legendary actor Dharmendra has been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, sparking concern among fans and media alike. According to sources, the 90-year-old star visited the hospital earlier this month for what his family described as a routine check-up; just a week later, it appears he was formally admitted.

His wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, had earlier reassured reporters that Dharmendra was “okay” when asked about his health, folding her hands in gratitude to fans and gently brushing off the worry.

Despite the admission, no official statement has been released by the family or hospital regarding the specifics of his health status. Insiders say that Dharmendra visits Breach Candy fairly often for routine tests and that there is currently “no cause for concern.”

Next month marks a milestone for Dharmendra as he turns 90 an age few in the film industry reach in such bloom. In recent years, the actor has remained active: he appeared in the 2024 film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, and is expected to play a pivotal role in the upcoming war drama Ikkis, which tells the story of param-vir chakra recipient Arun Khetarpal.

The sudden admission has reignited concern among his fans and the wider industry community, many of whom took to social media to wish him well and express hope for a smooth recovery. The news underlines the human fragility behind the glitz of Bollywood no matter how iconic the star, health remains paramount.

As of now, the best path forward appears to be patience and support. The family has requested privacy during this period and urged well-wishers to keep Dharmendra in their thoughts. We’ll continue to follow updates and bring more information as it emerges.
