The past week has been an emotionally tumultuous one for the Deol family, as veteran actor Dharmendra’s hospitalization sparked widespread concern — and ultimately, controversy. After the 88-year-old star was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, a video recorded inside his room started circulating online, sparking outrage among fans and the film fraternity.
Hospital employee arrested for leaking private video of Dharmendra in hospital bed, while Deol family grapples with rumors and health scare
According to HT City, the police have arrested the hospital staff member responsible for secretly recording and leaking the clip, acting on charges of invasion of privacy. The arrest was made on Thursday, prompting a serious reaction by the family and many others to what they consider an extremely insensitive violation.
In the video that surfaced earlier this week, Dharmendra was seen surrounded by his family, including his first wife Prakash Kaur. There were several medical instruments attached to him and the atmosphere in the room looked tense. Prakash Kaur was seen crying while Sunny Deol tried to console her. The private moment soon went viral on multiple social media platforms, leading the family to take legal action.
Dharmendra’s health was already surrounded by speculation and misinformation, with several false reports indicating a serious condition and even rumors of a premature death spreading. His children, Sunny Deol and Esha Deol repeatedly urged fans not to pay attention to the rumours, shared assurances and requested peace. The wave of inaccurate updates also distressed Hema Malini, who criticized a section of the media for what she described as “insensitive coverage” during a sensitive time for the family.
More concrete information emerged on Wednesday when reports confirmed that Dharmendra has been discharged. The Deol family issued a collective statement addressing fans and the press. The note reads, “Mr Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home.” “We request the media and public to refrain from any speculation and respect his and his 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 as he loves you.”
Now that the arrest has been made and Dharmendra is recovering at home, the family hopes the focus will focus on his recovery rather than sensationalism. For fans across the country, the priority remains the well-being of the beloved actor – and the hope that he returns to good health soon.
