According to another report, Dharmendra’s hospital visits are part of his routine health checks. A representative from the actor’s team told Moneycontrol, “He undergoes a series of tests periodically given his age, and is in the hospital for the same. Someone may have spotted him and created a news piece. He is absolutely fine and there’s nothing to be worried about.” The team added that the actor is in “great spirits” and that these check-ups are a long-standing part of his health routine.
Dharmendra’s sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, have been closely monitoring their father’s condition while managing their respective film commitments. The brothers remain in regular contact with the medical team to ensure everything is proceeding smoothly.

This is not the first time the actor’s routine hospital visits have caused speculation. Just a few weeks ago, similar check-ups prompted rumours, which were then also clarified by his team.
In a video shared on Instagram, Dharmendra was seen wearing a printed shirt, black pants, and a black hat as he left the hospital. While making his way to his car, the veteran actor paused to interact with the paparazzi.
The clip, showing Dharmendra with a bandaged right eye, quickly went viral on social media.
Despite approaching his 90th year, Dharmendra continues to remain active in cinema. He is slated to appear in Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming film Ikkis, starring Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia, demonstrating his enduring passion and dedication to the craft.
