The actor had posted a picture of himself indulging in late-night food cravings and wrote, “Aadhi raat ho gayi… neend aati nahin… bhook lag jaati hai. Baasi roti makhan ka saath bahut sawad lagta hai (It’s midnight, I don’t feel sleepy…but have late-night hunger pangs. I love gorging on leftover chapatis with butter).” In the picture, Dharmendra was seen in a black outfit, sitting on his bed.
Dharmendra posted, then deleted the photo
In the photo, he was seen looking tired. It left netizens wondering if he was doing okay.
Dharmendra soon deleted the picture but speculations began about his health.
It is now learned that Dharmendra suffered an injury as he attended a wedding with family in Udaipur. A source close to the star revealed to media, “He has been under the weather for the past two weeks, and that was visible on his face in the picture.”
The source further added, “He went to a wedding with his family, including Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, recently in Udaipur. That’s where he got injured, and his health took a toll. He hurt his back and leg while dancing. And his health also suffered because of exertion and old age”.
“He was exhausted because of the exertion, and it got bad because of his injury. However, he is doing fine now, and is on the road to recovery. In fact, he is taking it slow now, and focusing on his health completely,” added the source.
Dharmendra’s films
Dharmendra has been in the public eye even though he does fewer films now. He was last seen in Shahid Kapoor starrer Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The film also featured Kriti Sanon. He also had a supporting role in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which released last year in July.
He will be seen next in Ekkis, which will be directed by Sriram Raghavan.
