Talking about Dharmendra's health update, the veteran actor is "recovering and responding to treatment," as confirmed by his son Sunny Deol's team on Tuesday.
The statement read, "Dharmendra is responding. Family is hoping for a miracle." This was the third official update shared by the Deol family on the same day.
Earlier, Dharmendra's daughter Esha Deol had addressed the false rumours about her father's death circulating online. Sharing a note on Instagram, the actress clarified, “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable & recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa's speedy recovery.”
Hema Malini also stepped in to set the record straight. Taking to X, the actor and BJP MP dismissed the "false news" and reassured fans that Dharmendra is "responding to treatment and recovering."
On the work front, Dharmendra was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The project, released in February 2024, featured Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.
