The Deol family was compelled to intervene on Tuesday morning following a surge of false reports claiming that veteran star Dharmendra had passed away. These rumours spread rapidly across social media and various digital platforms shortly after news broke of the actor being hospitalised for age-related ailments. The misinformation triggered widespread confusion among fans and an outpouring of concern.
Dharmendra, who was admitted for routine monitoring a few days ago, has been under medical care but remains stable and is on the road to recovery, according to his family. Despite his children keeping followers updated on his progress, the false reports continued to circulate, causing distress to both fans and the actor’s loved ones.
Deeply upset by the insensitivity, Hema Malini took to social media to issue a firm statement condemning the death rumours. Calling the situation “unforgivable,” the actress and parliamentarian expressed shock at how “responsible channels” could circulate such baseless news. She emphasised that Dharmendra is “responding to treatment and recovering,” and criticised the spread of rumours as “extremely disrespectful and irresponsible.”
Hema Malini further urged media outlets and social media users to allow the family space during this time, stressing the importance of respecting their need for privacy.
Esha Deol also voiced her frustration with the situation, criticising the media’s haste in spreading unverified information. She reassured fans that her father is stable and recovering, adding that the family remains grateful for the prayers and well-wishes pouring in. Her message was clear: the Deols do not seek public speculation, only privacy and sensitivity from those reporting on the actor’s health.
The rumours began circulating after reports emerged on Monday about Dharmendra being admitted to the hospital again, which was quickly amplified online. By Tuesday, misinformation had escalated to the point of falsely declaring the actor dead, compelling the family to step in and clarify the truth.
Dharmendra, a beloved figure in Indian cinema with a career spanning over six decades, continues to receive strong support from fans who have flooded social media with messages of love and prayers for his speedy recovery. With his family assuring that he is stable, they hope the public will rely on verified updates moving forward and refrain from sharing misleading content.
