Veteran actor Dharmendra, 89, has been discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, doctors confirmed on Wednesday. His family, including sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, decided to take him home for further care.
According to PTI, Dharmendra was discharged around 7:30 am. “Dharmendra ji was discharged from the hospital around 7.30 am. He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him treatment at home,” Dr Pratit Samdani told PTI.
The update follows several videos circulating on social media showing an ambulance arriving at and later leaving the actor’s residence.
Rumours about veteran actor Dharmendra’s death circulated on Tuesday morning, sparking concern among fans. However, his family members — including wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol — swiftly dismissed the false reports on social media, assuring that the 89-year-old star was alive, stable, and responding well to treatment.
Dharmendra, who was admitted to a Mumbai hospital earlier this week, continues to be under medical supervision. His family, including sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, daughter Esha Deol, nephew Abhay Deol, and wife Hema Malini, spent the day by his side on Tuesday and were seen leaving the hospital in the evening.
The actor’s hospital stay has drawn visits from several Bollywood celebrities. Aamir Khan and his girlfriend Gauri Spratt were spotted at Breach Candy Hospital on Tuesday, following visits from Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan a day earlier.
Dharmendra was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024), co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, and is next set to appear in Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, a war drama featuring Agastya Nanda, slated for release in December 2025.
