Veteran star Dharmendra has been in the news this week due to his health. On Tuesday, false reports of his demise also surfaced but were immediately dismissed by his family. On Wednesday, Dharmendra was discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital and is currently being treated at home. Amid this, several celebs are slamming paparazzi for stationing outside his house and creating a ruckus. Now, his Sholay co-star Amitabh Bachchan has also shared a cryptic note.
Amitabh Bachchan on work ethics
The megastar shared the cryptic post on Friday but didn`t name anyone in particular. “No ethics no sense of responsibility just an avenue of personal gain, without any consideration of the moment. Disturbing and disgusting,” the 83-year-old actor wrote on his blog. Bachchan`s post comes amid the relentless media coverage of his Sholay co-star Dharmendra`s health struggles.

About Dharmendra’s health
Dharmendra, who was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital for tests last week, was discharged on Wednesday and moved home for continued treatment.
Over the past few days, media crews had camped outside both the hospital and the Deol residence, prompting pleas of privacy from the family. The constant media coverage of the Deol family has also been criticised by filmmaker Karan Johar, actor Ranvir Shorey and many others.
On Thursday, Dharmendra`s son, actor Sunny Deol, sharply reprimanded photographers gathered outside his Juhu home. The visibly emotional actor told them, “Aap logon ko sharam aayni chaiyeh… Aapke ghar mein maa-baap hain, bacche hain….he said, folding his hands in frustration.
His outburst followed the circulation of a leaked video purportedly showing the Deol family grieving at the bedside of an ailing Dharmendra. Dharmendra can be seen lying on a hospital bed with several tubes attached to him. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the hospital employee who secretly recorded the video of the veteran actor and his family has been arrested. Further details about the case are yet to be revealed.
On Tuesday, rumours swirled that the 89-year-old actor had died, leading to condolences from many people. At the time, daughter Esha Deol and wife Hema Malini had condemned irresponsible media behaviour and clarified that the actor was stable and responding to treatment.
