Dharmendra, also known as the "He-Man of Hindi cinema," is stable and healing, according to his daughter Esha Deol, who dismissed false allegations about his health that had been spreading online. The 89-year-old actor has been under medical supervision at Mumbai`s Breach Candy Hospital for more than a week.
Hema Malini took to her X handle to share that Dharmendra has been responding to the treatment, "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."
