In light of the recent false and misleading reports circulating across various media platforms regarding the health and wellbeing of legendary actor Dharmendra ji, the family and representatives of the veteran star have issued a firm statement condemning the spread of fake news.
Over the past few days, several unverified reports and social media posts have claimed that Dharmendra ji’s condition is critical and, in some cases, even falsely reported his passing. These rumours are completely baseless and untrue. The actor is currently stable and recovering under medical observation, surrounded by his family, who request privacy during this time.
Issuing a clarification, Hema Malini expressed deep disappointment at the irresponsible behaviour of certain media outlets. “What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and recovering? This is extremely disrespectful and insensitive. Please give our family privacy and respect,” she stated.
Echoing her sentiments, Esha Deol also addressed the rumours through her social media, writing, “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for your prayers for papa’s speedy recovery.”

The family further urged journalists and digital platforms to verify information before publication and refrain from sensationalising sensitive issues related to health and personal lives. “We understand the public’s love and concern for Dharmendra ji, but we request everyone to rely only on official updates from the family,” read the statement.
Dharmendra ji remains one of Indian cinema’s most respected figures, and the family appreciates the continued support, prayers, and goodwill from fans across the world.
