Veteran actor Dharmendra, 89, was discharged from the Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai on Wednesday morning, said a doctor treating him, adding that his family has decided to “treat him at home”.
“Dharmendra ji was discharged from the hospital around 7:30 am. He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him home treatment,” said Dr. Pratit Samdani, of Breach Candy hospital, under whom the actor was admitted.
An ambulance was seen leaving the hospital for Dharmendra’s elder son Sunny Deol’s residence in suburban Juhu.
The actor was admitted to the hospital on November 10 for “some tests”, which were not disclosed by the family and hospital authorities.
When asked about his patient’s health, Dr. Samdani said he was not authorised to reveal more details.

On Tuesday, several media outlets reported about Dharmendra’s death but the family refuted it, and urged for privacy.
“The media seems to be in over-drive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa’s speedy recovery,” daughter Esha Deol wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
Dharmendra’s wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, also criticised “irresponsible” media coverage of the veteran actor’s health in a post on X on Tuesday.
“What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy,” she wrote.
