Family opts for home treatment
Veteran actor Dharmendra was discharged from the Breach Candy hospital on Wednesday morning and will continue his recovery at home, his family and doctor said amid intense speculation about his health.
The 89-year-old actor was discharged from the south Mumbai hospital days after he was admitted there for tests. The family and hospital authorities did not go into any details about the tests or his condition.
In a statement, the family urged for privacy and asked people to respect the actor, reminding them that “he loves you”, a reference to how Dharmendra signs off many of his Instagram videos to fans.
“Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time.
“We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you,” son Sunny Deol’s PR representative said on behalf of the family.
According to his treating doctor, Dr Pratit Samdani of Breach Candy hospital, Dharmendra was discharged from the hospital around 7:30 am this morning. “He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him home treatment,” he told. (PTI)
