The 89-year-old was admitted last week for respiratory issues; family opted for home care after weeks of hospital visits following false demise reports.
After a string of messages from senior politicians and Bollywood veterans condoling his demise, Bollywood's legendary actor Dharmendra appears to be continuing his treatment at home.
The actor, who dominated the Hindi film industry in the 70s, was discharged from Breach Candy hospital on Wednesday (November 12) morning. His family has decided to take him home for treatment, his treating doctor told PTI.
The 89-year-old has been in and out of hospital for weeks. "Dharmendra ji was discharged from the hospital around 7.30 am. He will be treated at home as the family has decided to give him treatment at home," Dr Pratit Samdani told PTI. Dharmendra was admitted to Breach Candy hospital last week after complaining of respiratory issues.
