Veteran actor Dharmendra discharged; will continue recovery at home, his team says

The 89-year-old, who has been in and out of hospital for weeks, is going to continue his recovery at home, his team said. His family decided to take him home for treatment, the doctor treating him said.

Dr. Pratit Samdani of Breach Candy hospital, who was treating the actor, also confirmed the news.

When asked about the actor’s health, Dr. Samdani said all he can confirm is that Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital.

An ambulance was seen leaving the hospital for Dharmendra’s elder son Sunny Deol’s residence in suburban Juhu.

Dharmendra’s wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, on Monday (November 10), said he was kept under observation and was being “continuously monitored”. She urged well-wishers to pray for his good health.

His daughter, Esha Deol, asked the media to stop circulating false news about his health.
