Esha Deol's ex-husband, businessman Bharat Takhtani, was spotted arriving at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday, November 11, to check on veteran actor Dharmendra's health.
His visit came shortly after Abhay Deol and other members of the Deol family were seen at the hospital.
Earlier in the day, Esha Deol addressed the growing speculation surrounding her father's health through an Instagram statement. Refuting circulating rumours, she wrote, "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."
Meanwhile, veteran actress and Dharmendra's wife Hema Malini expressed strong disapproval of false reports about her husband's condition. Taking to X, she wrote, "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."
In an additional update, Sunny Deol's team released a brief statement confirming the same. "Dharmendra is responding. Family is hoping for a miracle," the note read.
