Dharmendra, 89, has been discharged from Breach Candy Hospital, according to doctors, and his family, which includes sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, has decided to take him home.
On Wednesday morning, PTI provided an update on Dharmendra`s condition. They added that the actor had been discharged from the hospital and that his family had decided to take him home. The 89-year-old has been in and out of the hospital for weeks.
Dr Pratit Samdani and Film producer Amit Tuli confirmed the news about discharge
“Mr Dharmendra Deol has been discharged this morning from Breach Candy hospital at 7:30 am. His treatment and recovery will continue at home,” Dr Pratit Samdani told PTI.
Film producer Amit Tuli also confirmed, “Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time. We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”
The announcement comes after various videos of an ambulance coming and leaving Dharmendra`s home circulated on social media.
On Tuesday morning, speculations spread that Dharmendra had died in the hospital. However, his family, including wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol, rushed to social media to refute the bogus allegations, assuring fans that the veteran actor was alive and responding well to treatment. They claimed that he is stable. Dharmendra was brought into a hospital in Mumbai earlier this week.
