Dharmendra Rushed To Hospital

Dharmendra was rushed to Nanavati Hospital  an hour ago after he complained of acute stomach cramps. The actor is at present admitted in the hospital.

The 81-year-old Bollywood icon was rushed to the hospital by his family after a stomach ache which had kept him down for a few days, flared up along with other ailments.

He has been diagnosed with a bad case of gastroenteritis.

It was just yesterday that Dharmendra had landed in Mumbai from Khandala where he spends most of his time at a sprawling farmhouse.

He is being treated by Dr. Vishesh Agrawal of Nanavati Hospital. The doctor told a section of the media: “Dharmendraji was brought to the hospital on Monday as he was experiencing uneasiness and is being treated for Gastric upset. We are observing him, and he is responding to treatment well and should be discharged in a couple of days.”

Born in 1935 in a village in Punjab’s Ludhiana district, Dharmendra made his acting debut with 1960 film Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. The actor went on to script a success story with films such as Bandini, Phool Aur Paththar, Anupama, Chupke Chupke and Sholay.


On the occasion of his 81st birthday, SpotboyE.com had published an interview with the star.

For over a decade now, Dharmendra has developed a penchant for poetry and has been writing couplets and verses himself. He has rejected lucrative offers from publishers for his autobiography, saying that he has been authoring one himself – in Urdu! When it is ready he may self-publish it.


And that was what he was busy with when illness struck.

SpotboyE.com wishes Dharmendra a speedy recovery.
