Kathmandu — A false rumor claiming the death of Bollywood’s “He-Man” Dharmendra at the age of 89 has been circulating. However, this is not true. His wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol have denied the reports and confirmed that Dharmendra is alive and recovering. Despite the clarification, the fake news shocked the film industry and fans alike. According to reports, he was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Monday evening due to breathing difficulties.
Esha’s Confirmation
Dharmendra’s daughter Esha Deol wrote:
“The media is continuously spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We kindly request everyone to give our family some privacy. Thank you to all who are praying for his speedy recovery.”
Hema Malini’s Outrage
Hema Malini expressed her anger on social media, tweeting:
“What is happening is inexcusable. How can responsible news channels spread false information about someone who is responding well to treatment and recovering? This is extremely disrespectful and irresponsible behavior. Please respect the family’s need for privacy.”
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.
