Bollywood legend Govinda expressed his joy upon hearing that veteran actor Dharmendra has been discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital and is now recuperating at home.
Govinda recalled his recent visit to Dharmendra in the hospital, which reminded him of the immense excitement audiences felt whenever Dharmendra’s films premiered, especially during his prime.
“…We have all been huge admirers of his work. He has starred in so many remarkable films. His charm, youthfulness, and magnetic persona make him an iconic figure among Punjabis,” he remarked.
Dharmendra was released from the hospital at 7:30 am on Wednesday.
“His family is attending to him at home. We hope his treatment, care, and recovery proceed smoothly,” Dr. Pratik Samdani shared with ANI.
Earlier, a statement from Dharmendra’s elder son, Sunny Deol’s team, was issued.
The statement requested, “…We kindly ask the media and public to avoid further speculation and respect his and the family’s privacy at this time.”
It further mentioned, “We are grateful for everyone’s love, prayers, and wishes for his speedy recovery, health, and longevity. Please continue to respect him as he cherishes you.”
Director Guddu Dhanoa, who visited Dharmendra, provided a brief update, stating, “He (Dharmendra) is on the mend and doing well.”
On the professional front, Dharmendra will be seen in the upcoming film Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan, with Agastya Nanda in the lead role.
