Dharmendra on VENTILATOR; health condition worsens- REPORT

Fresh reports have raised serious concern about Dharmendra’s health, with sources now claiming the veteran star is on ventilator support. The actor, who turns 90 on December 8, had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital a few days ago after a bout of breathlessness. What began as a routine check-in soon turned into a tense situation, with early visuals showing him resting inside the ICU.

Back then, staff members assured everyone that his vitals were steady and there was no immediate danger. His heart rate, blood pressure and other readings were said to be under control. But now, the fresh chatter around his condition paints a far more serious picture, leaving admirers anxious and glued to every update.

Surgery Earlier This Year

Dharmendra has had a fragile year health-wise. A few months ago, he underwent an eye graft procedure. A short clip of him stepping out of the hospital with a bandaged eye had quickly gone viral. Even in that moment, he showed his trademark grit, telling photographers that he remained strong and full of willpower.

The veteran has always carried himself with warmth and resilience, often brushing aside worries about his age. But the recent turn of events has stirred deep concern, especially with his milestone birthday just around the corner.

Work Continues With Ikkis

Despite the ups and downs, Dharmendra never stepped away from the camera. His next film, Ikkis, is already creating a strong buzz. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the war drama follows the extraordinary life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the young hero who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra after the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

Dharmendra appears in a pivotal role, sharing the screen with newcomers Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia, along with Jaideep Ahlawat. The film is slated to release in December 2025, making it one of the most anticipated projects of the year.

As the industry and his admirers wait for clearer updates, the hope is simple: that Dharmendra recovers soon and returns to the warmth, charm and strength that made him one of Indian cinema’s most adored icons.
