He is in the ICU and he is sleeping now,” a person from the hospital, cited by the journalist, said, adding, “He came in complaining of breathlessness. He is in the ICU.” The unnamed staff member from the hospital also clarified that Dharmendra is “stable” and said, “No, right now nothing to worry. He is stable. His parameters are okay—the heart rate is 70, the blood pressure is 140 by 80. His urine output is also good,” confirmed journalist Vickey Lalwani. Reports of Dharmendra’s hospitalisation made headlines on Friday evening after a source cited by India Today claimed, “Someone may have spotted him and created a news piece. He is absolutely fine and there’s nothing to be worried about. He is in great spirits and just went for his scheduled tests.” However, just a little later, another report by NDTV claimed that the actor has been in the hospital for the last five days. Earlier this year, Dharmendra underwent an eye graft surgery. A video of him walking out of the hospital with a bandaged eye had gone viral. He then told the paps, “I am strong. Abhi bhi Dharmendra mein bahut dum hai. Abhi bhi jaan rakhta hoon. Meri aankh, eye graft (corneal transplantation) ho gayi hai. I am strong. Love you, my audience and my fans.” The actor, who turns 90 on December 8, will soon be seen in Ikkis. The upcoming biographical war drama stars Agastya Nanda — Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson — alongside Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat. Directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Maddock Films, the film is slated for a December theatrical release and has already created a strong buzz among audiences.
