Earlier in the day, Hema Malini took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to address the widespread rumours. Expressing her frustration, she criticized certain media outlets for spreading misinformation about her husband’s health. “What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy,” she wrote, urging the media to show restraint and sensitivity.

Esha Deol also issued a heartfelt statement on Instagram, assuring fans that her father is doing better. “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 the prayers for papa’s speedy recovery,” she wrote. Her post received an outpouring of support from fans and industry colleagues, who flooded the comments section with wishes for Dharmendra’s good health.

As Dharmendra continues to remain under observation, fans have been offering prayers and messages of strength for the Deol family. Several Bollywood stars, including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Govinda, Ameesha Patel, and others, reportedly visited the actor at Breach Candy Hospital on Tuesday night to check on his condition.

Shehnaaz Gill, who is currently enjoying the success of her Punjabi film Ikk Kudi, recently made an intriguing revelation about Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Appearing on The Ranveer Show podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, the Bigg Boss 13 fame lifted the lid on the mystery surrounding Salman Khan’s legendary house parties — a topic that has long fascinated fans.

During the candid chat, Shehnaaz reflected on her time working with Salman Khan in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023), which offered her a rare look at the actor’s off-screen life. She described her stay at his farmhouse, recalling how much fun the entire team had during filming. “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan ke time hum gaye the sab… hum wahan ek do din rahe. Bohot maza aaya. Hum sab bikes aur ATVs par ghoom rahe the, aur Salman sir berries todh rahe the*,” she said, laughing as she shared anecdotes from their visit.

However, it was Shehnaaz’s comments about Salman’s personality that truly caught attention. Dispelling the glamorous image often associated with the superstar, she revealed that he leads a simple and grounded life. “Sir toh bohot desi hai. Full desi. Kaam karte hai bohot… farmers jaise pura waise,” she explained, adding that Salman enjoys hard work, outdoor activities, and a rustic lifestyle — far removed from the glitz of Bollywood. Her description showcased a side of Salman Khan that few get to see — humble, hands-on, and deeply connected to his roots.

In recent days, Dharmendra’s health has been the subject of intense online speculation. Several unverified reports claimed that the actor had been shifted to the ICU and placed on life support. However, these rumours were swiftly refuted by his family and team. A statement from Sunny Deol’s representatives clarified, “Mr Dharmendra is stable and under observation.

Fans across the country continue to send their prayers and good wishes for his health. The family has reiterated their appeal for privacy and respect during this time, emphasizing that false reports cause unnecessary distress.

Hema Malini and Dharmendra’s love story remains one of Bollywood’s most talked-about and complex romances. The two first met on the sets of the 1970 film Tu Haseen Main Jawan and soon developed a deep connection. However, their relationship drew widespread attention and criticism, as Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur and was the father of four children.

In her biography Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl, the actress candidly reflected on the emotional challenges of their unconventional relationship. She revealed that her decision to live separately from Dharmendra stemmed from a desire to preserve peace and dignity for everyone involved. “I didn’t want to disturb anyone. I am happy with whatever Dharamji did for me and my daughters,” she shared.

Hema admitted that she was often branded the “other woman” and faced harsh judgment, but she stood by her choices. “Fingers were pointed. Accusations were flung at us. I knew people discussed me behind my back. I just knew that he made me happy. And all I wanted was happiness,” she said. Rejecting assumptions that her marriage left her lonely, she added, “I am not a police officer who needs to keep tabs on him. He knows his duty as a father, and I’ve never had to remind him of it.”

In an earlier interview with Lehren Retro, Hema acknowledged that her marriage was far from conventional. “Nobody wants to live like this. But automatically, what happens, you have to accept. I am not sulking about it. I am happy with myself. I have my two children, and I have brought them up well,” she said.

On the professional front, Dharmendra was last seen in Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” (2023), where his heartfelt performance as Kanwal Lund opposite Shabana Azmi received widespread acclaim. The legendary actor will next appear in Sriram Raghavan’s war drama “Ikkis” and Arbaaz Khan’s “Maine Pyaar Kiya Phir Se”, continuing his remarkable journey in Indian cinema.

As reported by NDTV on Monday, Bollywood legend Dharmendra has been admitted to a hospital and is currently on ventilator support. The 89-year-old actor has been taken into the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai close to a week ago after he complained of difficulty in breathing.

According to ABP News, Dharmendra’s condition deteriorated in the last couple of days following which the doctors shifted him to the ICU early this morning. Sources say his condition turned critical in the morning, for which he was put on a ventilator. However, reports say the veteran actor is responding to treatment now. Many family members, including his wife and actress Hema Malini, have been visiting the hospital frequently.

No official statement has emerged yet from either the hospital or the actor’s family in relation to his condition. Earlier reports from IANS had suggested that the actor was taken initially for a routine check-up, but remained under observation as his condition failed to improve. Last week Hema Malini briefly reassured the media that at that time, he was doing “okay”.

Dharmendra, affectionately known as the “He-Man of Bollywood,” has had a career spanning over six decades. Classics where he earned much acclaim include Sholay, Chupke Chupke, and Satyakam. Earlier this year, he underwent an eye graft surgery in April.

The actor was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. He is also set to appear in Ikkis, featuring Agastya Nanda and Jaideep Ahlawat, and in Apne 2 alongside his sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, and grandson Karan Deol. Fans across the nation are praying for his speedy recovery.
