Mumbai, Nov 10 (NationPress) Actors Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol made their way to Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai on Monday to visit their father, Dharmendra. While Sunny arrived concealing his face from the media along with his son, Bobby was accompanied by his wife.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan also stopped by to see the veteran actor, sporting his ‘Galwan’ look.

Reports indicate that Dharmendra was placed on a ventilator due to breathing difficulties. Sunny Deol’s team released a statement confirming that the actor is currently under medical observation.

They stated, “Mr. Dharmendra is stable and under observation. We will provide further updates as they become available. We kindly ask everyone to pray for his quick recovery and respect the family’s privacy.”

Just a week earlier, his wife Hema Malini had assured the media during a previous hospital visit that he was in good condition. Dharmendra resides at his farmhouse in Khandala with his first wife, Prakash Kaur, having moved there due to the increasing pollution in Mumbai.

Born in 1935 in Punjab, Dharmendra is one of Bollywood’s most beloved and enduring stars. His career began in the early 1960s after winning a talent hunt competition organized by Filmfare magazine and Bimal Roy Productions in the late 1950s. He was selected in 1958 for his striking appearance and natural charm, paving his way into the film industry. This talent hunt also led to the discovery of Rajesh Khanna, another iconic figure in Hindi cinema.

Dharmendra quickly gained fame, noted for his charming looks, emotional depth, and natural screen presence. His versatility allowed him to thrive in romance, action, and comedy genres. Some of his most memorable films include ‘Phool Aur Patthar’, which positioned him as a leading man, and ‘Sholay’, where his role as the witty Veeru became legendary.

Additionally, his impeccable comic timing was showcased in ‘Chupke Chupke’, while action-packed films like ‘Yaadon Ki Baaraat’ cemented his status as the quintessential Bollywood hero. Beyond his cinematic achievements, Dharmendra’s humility and charisma have made him a treasured figure both on and off the screen.
