This is not the first time Dharmendra has had a hospital visit in recent months. In April 2024, the actor underwent an eye graft surgery, also known as corneal transplantation. At the time, videos of him leaving the hospital with a bandaged right eye had gone viral on social media.
Dharmendra’s Positive Spirit After Eye Surgery
In that viral clip, Dharmendra, wearing a printed shirt, black pants, and his signature black hat, was seen smiling and waving to the paparazzi as he walked toward his car. Despite just coming out of surgery, the actor looked cheerful and in good spirits.
When photographers expressed concern about his health, Dharmendra reassured them with his trademark charm and humor. He said,
“I am strong. Abhi bhi Dharmendra mein bahut dum hai. Abhi bhi jaan rakhta hoon. Meri aankh, eye graft (corneal transplantation) ho gayi hai. I am strong.”
(Translation: I am strong. Dharmendra still has a lot of strength. I still have the spirit. My eye has undergone a graft surgery, but I’m fine.)
He also expressed his love for his fans, saying, “Love you, my audience and my fans,” showing once again why he remains one of the most adored stars in Indian cinema.
