Legendary actor Dharmendra passes away at 89
Veteran Bollywood icon Dharmendra, fondly known as the He-Man of Indian Cinema, passed away early this morning in Mumbai at the age of 89. A rare blend of charm, strength, and sensitivity, Dharmendra defined an era where action met emotion. His chemistry with Hema Malini both on and off screen remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic love stories. Dharmendra’s first triumph in the entertainment world was through a talent hunt organized by Filmfare. This encouraged him to relocate to Mumbai to try his hand in films as a lead actor. Dharmendra got his first big break in Arjun Hingorani’s Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960). But his first big hit came in the form of Shola Aur Shabnam (1961). He followed it up with Anpadh (1962) and Bimal Roy’s classic Bandini (1963). From here onwards, he went on to deliver timeless classics, including Haqeeqat, Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Satyakam, Anupama, Dharam Veer, and The Burning Train, each performance showcasing a different facet of his craft. Beyond his stardom, he was admired for his humility, warmth, and poetic soul. He is survived by his wife Hema Malini, sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, daughters Esha and Ahana Deol, and grandchildren. As tributes pour in from across the industry, the loss of Dharmendra marks the end of a golden chapter in Indian cinema. Team Bollywood Hungama extends heartfelt condolences to the Deol family. His legacy will continue to shine through every frame of Indian film history.
Dharmendra health update: He is in a better condition, reveal reports
The health of veteran actor Dharmendra has been at the centre of intense public attention ever since he was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital earlier this month following age-related complications. While early reports speculated that his condition had worsened, a reassuring update has now emerged from an insider source, who told NDTV, “He is fine, better than earlier.” The positive update comes as a major relief to fans who have been anxiously tracking the actor’s recovery.

However, mixed information soon began circulating. Some portals alarmingly claimed the actor was in critical condition, giving rise to panic among fans. Matters escalated further when hoax reports falsely declared the actor had passed away, a move that drew strong criticism from the Deol family, who condemned the irresponsible and insensitive reportage. To counter the speculation, members of the Deol clan issued multiple statements, urging the public to rely only on verified updates. When Dharmendra was finally discharged, the family shared a detailed note expressing gratitude while appealing for privacy. “Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time. We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”Amid the emotional turbulence, another controversy surfaced when a video from the actor’s hospital room went viral online. The clip-which appeared to be recorded by a hospital staff member-showed Dharmendra surrounded by family members. The breach of privacy sparked outrage, and strict action is expected to have been taken against the individual responsible for the leak. With the worst now seemingly behind him, the Deol family is focusing on positive developments. As previously reported by Bollywood Hungama, they have already begun planning celebrations for Dharmendra’s milestone 90th birthday on December 8. The recent insider reassurance, paired with the family’s growing optimism, suggests that the beloved star is firmly on the path to recovery-comforting news for millions who continue to hold him close to their hearts.

The media’s lately acquired tendency to jump the gun and kill off celebrities for the sake of headlines, reached a new level of ludicrousness when everyone’s favourite Dharmendra was declared dead on Tuesday morning by many portals. When this writer spoke to Hema Malini ji she was livid. “How can they do this? How can the media be so irresponsible? This is simply outrageous. Please show some respect for our family.”She also wondered who was spreading such alarming false news. “Even Wikipedia has fallen for it. Who are these so-called sources spreading false news? We request you to find some other way of entertaining yourself.”Upset as much with the falsehood as Dharamji’s health, Hemaji said, “We are human beings first, celebrities afterwards. Please don’t treat us as just targets for headlines.”Rakhee Gulzar, who was recently targeted for similar delusional death reports, said, “Who on earth would want Dharamji dead? May he live to be a hundred, and more. When I was declared dead, I could laugh at the falsehood.
