Bollywood actor Dharmendra, who had been undergoing treatment for respiratory ailments at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, was discharged on 12 November 2025. During his hospital stay, several false rumours about his death circulated online, with some media outlets even publishing such claims. NDTV reported that Dharmendra will continue his treatment at home, and media reports noted that after his discharge, his son Sunny Deol lashed out at paparazzi who had gathered outside their residence.
In this context, a couple of videos (here, here, and here) are circulating on social media claiming to show Dharmendra arriving home after his discharge, with posts asserting that the clip shows him with his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol in November 2025. Let’s verify the claim made in the post in this article.
Claim: The video shows Bollywood actor Dharmendra after he was discharged from the hospital in November 2025.
Fact: The viral video does not show Bollywood actor Dharmendra after he was discharged from the hospital in November 2025. The video is from December 2024 and was recorded during Dharmendra’s 89th birthday celebrations. Hence, the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.
A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video led us to multiple videos (here, here, here, here) from December 2024 that matched the visuals from the viral video, with the actors seen wearing the same attire. This confirms that the video predates Dharmendra’s hospital treatment and is unrelated to his health condition in November 2025
We found multiple media reports (here, here) covering this video, stating that it is from Dharmendra’s 89th birthday celebrations held on 08 December 2024. This confirms (here, here, here) that the viral video is not from November 2025.
To sum up, a video from Dharmendra’s 89th birthday is shared as showing him after his hospital discharge in November 2025.
