Dharmendra, who will turn 90 next month, was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital following respiratory complications and is recovering, according to his family members.
Condemning the fake news of Dharmendra’s death, the actor’s wife Hema Malini slammed the media for ‘unforgivable’ act.
“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,” she posted on X.
The actor’s family requested for privacy during this difficult time.
