Bollywood Icon Dharmendra's Health Scare Unites Industry in Concern

In the past few weeks, veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra has been at the center of a health scare that has deeply concerned his fans and colleagues. As of November 15th, 2025, Dharmendra is now recovering at home after being discharged from the hospital, but the Deol family has faced a constant media presence and paparazzi attention during this stressful period.

Several Bollywood stars have stepped up to support the family and call for respect of their privacy. Director Rohit Shetty, who will be hosting an upcoming episode of 'Bigg Boss 19', recently questioned the paparazzi gathered outside Dharmendra's home, asking if they had stopped their constant filming. A few days earlier, Sunny Deol had also confronted the media, urging them to have shame and respect the family's privacy.

Renowned director Karan Johar also expressed his concern, sharing a heartfelt message on social media about the emotional stress the Deol family is going through. He emphasized that this is not "coverage, it's DISRESPECT" towards the legendary actor who has contributed so much to Indian cinema.

As Dharmendra continues his recovery at home, his fans and the Bollywood community remain hopeful for his speedy return to good health. The outpouring of support and calls for privacy have underscored the deep respect and admiration the industry holds for this iconic figure.
