Esha Deol Shuts Down Death Rumors About Dharmendra
Mumbai — Esha Deol is calling out a handful of media outlets for spreading shocking — and totally false — rumors that her father, Bollywood legend Dharmendra, had passed away.
Taking to social media, Esha wrote that the reports were “false news” and confirmed her father is very much alive, stable, and recovering in the hospital. “My father is stable & recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa’s speedy recovery,” she said.
The confusion began Monday night, when whispers about Dharmendra’s health started snowballing online. Sunny Deol’s team also stepped in, urging people to stop sharing baseless gossip. “Mr. Dharmendra is stable and under observation… Kindly don’t indulge in spreading false rumours,” the statement read.
Sunny and Bobby Deol have visited their father at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital. Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were also spotted checking in on the veteran actor, who reportedly experienced breathing issues and was briefly placed on a ventilator.
Born in 1935, Dharmendra is one of Hindi cinema’s most beloved stars, known for classics like “Sholay,” “Phool Aur Patthar,” and “Seeta Aur Geeta.” His decades-long career and enduring popularity have made him an icon — which is why the false rumors hit especially hard.
For now, the family says: he’s recovering — and they just want privacy while he heals.

First Copy Season 2 features Munawar Faruqui alongside Krystle, plus appearances from Gulshan Grover, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang and others. The new season premiered November 5 on MX Player.
