Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who will soon celebrate his 90th birthday, has been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, sparking a wave of concern among fans after the news of his hospitalization circulated online. However, sources close to the actor have put an end to the rumors and clarified that the veteran actor is fine and is in the hospital for regular medical checkups.

The 89-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital earlier this week, with sources close to him revealing that he has gone there to undergo a series of routine medical tests.
“Yes, Dharmendra is currently in Breach Candy hospital, but there is nothing to worry about. The actor is in good health and visits the hospital frequently for regular medical tests, which is the reason for his current stay. It seems that someone has seen him there, causing a frenzy among his fans, but there is nothing to worry about as he is absolutely fine,” says the source.
In fact, according to the insider, it was Dharmendra’s own decision to stay at the hospital to get all his tests completed in one go, rather than having to travel back and forth for them every day.
“Dharmendra has to undergo a number of regular tests, which usually take around two to three days to complete. Considering that he is 89, daily travel at this age can be tiring. Hence, he himself chose to get all the tests completed in one go rather than staying in the hospital and commuting back and forth every day,” the source shared, adding, “His sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, who are currently busy shooting for their respective films We are keeping a close eye on our father’s health and staying updated on the medical tests and results.”
