Concerns have risen regarding the health of veteran actor Dharmendra, 89, as an ambulance was seen leaving his Juhu residence on Monday. This comes after the actor was recently discharged from Breach Candy Hospital following a reported stay for breathlessness. News of the ambulance's departure has triggered worry among fans, prompting increased security measures around his home and heightened vigilance at a nearby crematorium.
Dharmendra had been admitted to the hospital on November 1, 2025, for what was initially described as a routine check-up. However, his condition reportedly worsened, leading to his admission to the ICU on November 10. While his family initially remained tight-lipped about the specifics of his condition, reports indicated he was experiencing breathlessness. False rumors of his death circulated online, which were quickly dispelled by his family. His wife, Hema Malini, denounced the spread of misinformation as "unforgivable" and "highly irresponsible," emphasizing the family's need for privacy during this sensitive time.
On November 12, 2025, Dharmendra was discharged from the hospital and has since been receiving medical treatment at home. Following his discharge, Sunny Deol's team issued a statement requesting privacy and urging the public to refrain from speculation. The statement conveyed that Dharmendra was stable and recovering under observation. An insider recently told NDTV that he is doing "fine, better than earlier".
The recent sighting of the ambulance at Dharmendra's residence has understandably caused renewed anxiety among his admirers. Adding to the concern, security has been significantly tightened around his Juhu home, with barricades placed near the entrance to manage the gathering crowds of fans and media personnel. Furthermore, reports indicate increased security measures at a crematorium in the vicinity, fueling further speculation about the actor's current state.
Several celebrities have been spotted arriving at Dharmendra's residence, including his daughter Esha Deol. Despite the heightened activity, the family has yet to release an official statement addressing the latest developments in his health.
Dharmendra, known as the "He-Man" of Bollywood, has starred in over 300 films and enjoys immense popularity. He was last seen in "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani" and "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya" and is slated to appear in Sriram Raghavan's "Ikkis".
As fans and colleagues alike express their concern and offer prayers for his well-being, further updates are awaited from the Deol family regarding Dharmendra's health status.
