Veteran actor Dharmendra has been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, a week after he visited the facility for a medical check-up.
Sources told Hindustan Times, that the 89-year-old actor was admitted on Monday. Details of his condition are not known, and the family has not released a statement yet. His hospitalisation comes days after fans expressed concern when he was spotted at the same hospital earlier this month.

Hema Malini had assured fans earlier
After Dharmendra’s earlier visit to the hospital, his wife Hema Malini had reassured fans that he was doing well. When photographers asked her about his health at the airport, she smiled, gestured “okay,” and folded her hands in gratitude.
At that time, a family source told Hindustan Times, “Yes, Dharmendra is currently at Breach Candy Hospital, but there is absolutely no cause for concern. He often goes for routine medical tests. It seems someone spotted him and that created unnecessary panic.”

Dharmendra, who will turn 90 in December, remains one of Hindi cinema’s most loved stars. He was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024) alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, and will next appear in Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, co-starring Agastya Nanda. The war drama is based on the life of Param Vir Chakra recipient Arun Khetarpal.
