Veteran actor Dharmendra has been admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital after reports surfaced claiming that he is on ventilator support and in critical condition. However, his son Sunny Deol issued a statement dismissing these reports and clarifying that Dharmendra is stable, putting rumours to rest.

Dharmendra's wife, actress Hema Malini, was also papped visiting the hospital to see her ailing husband.

Dharmendra's health update
Last week, Dharmendra visited the hospital after complaining of breathlessness. At that time, his team had stated that it was just a routine check-up.
As per reports, sources clarified, "Yes, Dharmendra is currently at Breach Candy Hospital, but there is absolutely no cause for concern. The actor is in good health and often visits the hospital for regular medical tests. It seems someone spotted him there, leading to unnecessary panic among fans. He is absolutely fine."
Days after his hospitalisation, his wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, interacted with reporters and reassured fans. When she was spotted at the airport leaving the city, photographers asked her, "Sir kaise hain (How is sir)?" to which she simply gestured "okay," putting concerns to rest.
