Hema Malini, the wife of veteran actor Dharmendra, recently addressed public concern about his health while interacting with the media at Mumbai airport. When questioned about his condition, she smiled warmly and reassured everyone, “He is well.”Meanwhile, a source close to the family told the Hindustan Times that Dharmendra’s hospitalisation was primarily for regular medical examinations. The insider explained, “There is no cause for concern. The actor is in good health and visits the hospital often for routine tests, which is why he is currently admitted.”
The source further noted that Dharmendra chose to remain in the hospital to complete all his tests in one go, rather than making multiple visits, as frequent travel can be exhausting for him at his age. The veteran actor will next be seen in ‘Ikkis’, which is the story of 21-year-old young soldier, Arun Khetrapal. The role of Arun will portrayed by Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan. Dharmendra will be essaying the role of Arun's on-screen grandfather, ML Khetrapal.
