Dharmendra’s daughter Esha Deol on Tuesday said the veteran actor is “stable and recovering”, urging the media to stop circulating false news about his health as the 89-year-old star remains under observation at a Mumbai hospital.

“The media seems to be in over-drive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to

give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for papa’s speedy recovery,” Esha wrote on Instagram.

Her post came amid reports of Dharmendra’s demise. He has been in and out of south Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital for several days.

On Monday night, his wife, actor-politician Hema Malini, also appealed for calm and prayers.
