Veteran actor Dharmendra has once again become the subject of false death rumours on social media. The Bollywood legend’s name began trending after several unverified posts claimed he had passed away. Soon after, his daughter and actress Esha Deol addressed the viral reports and urged everyone not to spread misinformation.
Esha Deol clarified that her father, Dharmendra, is absolutely fine and healthy. Taking to social media, she expressed disappointment over the baseless rumours and requested people to verify facts before believing or sharing such sensitive news. The statement brought relief to fans who had been flooding comment sections with prayers and concerns.
Dharmendra, known for his iconic roles in films like Sholay and Phool Aur Patthar, continues to be active and connected with his audience. The 88-year-old actor often shares heartfelt messages and poetry on his social media, which fans adore for its simplicity and warmth.
False news about celebrity deaths has unfortunately become common in the digital age. Just recently, misinformation surrounding public figures spread quickly before being debunked by official sources. In a similar situation, Pakistan mourned the real loss of a respected figure, Dr Arfa Sayeda Zehra, a renowned scholar and educationist, who recently passed away. Her death was confirmed by credible sources, unlike the ongoing rumours about Dharmendra.
Esha Deol’s quick response helped calm the wave of panic among fans and highlighted the importance of responsible reporting. She also thanked everyone for their love and concern for her father.
Dharmendra’s fans, meanwhile, continue to send him good wishes and express their admiration for his long-standing career. The veteran actor, regarded as one of Indian cinema’s most beloved stars, remains a timeless figure whose charm and humility continue to inspire generations.
