Dharmendra Admitted To The ICU
According to rumours, family members have been visiting the hospital more regularly since early today, but neither the family nor the hospital have issued an official comment. According to people aware of his condition, Dharmendra is being closely monitored and responding to treatment.

He made his cinematic debut in 1960 with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere and went on to give outstanding performances in films such as Bandini, Anupama, Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, and Dream Girl.
