Esha Deol called on the public to respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time
Daughter of veteran Bollywood acter Dharmendra took to Instagram on Tuesday to deny his death amid conflicting media reports which spoke of his passing away.
Esha Deol requested respect for her family’s privacy during these difficult moments and called on the media to refrain from spreading false news while confirming that her father is “stable and recovering”.
Earlier on Tuesday, several media reports said that Dharmendra had passed away, and the 89-year-old actor was mourned in a tweet shared by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, but that tweet was later deleted.
Popular Indian actress Hema Malini slammed how the media dealt with the actor’s health developments, saying: “What is happening is unforgivable”.
“How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy,” she added.
