Legendary actor Dharmendra is reportedly on ventilator support. He got admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital after complaints of breathlessness. The initial admission was followed by updates that the actor was stable. However, today, multiple reports from various sources began to surface, suggesting that the 89-year-old actor's health was critical, leading doctors to place him on ventilator support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for close observation.
According to sources, Dharmendra is currently on ventilator support, though his family is yet to confirm the same. Sources have also stated to media outlets that he is being treated by senior cardiologist Dr Dev Pahlajani at the above-mentioned Mumbai hospital.
On November 1, a staff member from the Breach Candy Hospital confirmed that “Dharmendra came in complaining of breathlessness. He is in the ICU and is sleeping now.”
Dharmendra, who turns 90 in December, has maintained a remarkably active professional life despite minor health issues in recent years, including a cataract surgery earlier in the year.
Media outlets had reached out to Hema Malini, who said that everyone is hoping for his speedy recovery. The actress was spotted at the Breach Candy Hospital on Monday. As per reports, Dharmendra's eldest son, Sunny Deol, has also arrived at the hospital.
Bobby Deol, Dharmendra’s youngest son, recently disclosed in an interview that the veteran actor continues to reside with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, at their Khandala farmhouse near Mumbai.
Dharmendra is slated to appear next in the highly anticipated Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis, a war drama. Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda is all set to make his big debut as Arun Khetarpal. The plot chronicles the untold true story of India's youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.
