Dharmendra recovering after suffering injury while dancing at family wedding: Report

Veteran actor Dharmendra recently stirred concern when he shared a late-night picture expressing his struggle with sleeplessness. Though he later removed the post, it fueled speculations about his health.

The actor posted a picture of himself indulging in a late-night food craving and wrote, ‘Aadhi raat ho gayi... neend aati nahin… bhook lag jaati hai. Baasi roti makhan ka saath bahut sawad lagta hai’.

In the picture, Dharmendra was seen in a black outfit, sitting on his bed. He had a tired expression on his face. It left his fans worried, with several fans asking, ‘Sir what happened to your leg?’.

Latest reports indicate that the actor indeed faced an injury but is presently recuperating.

According to a source cited by Hindustan Times, Dharmendra has been feeling unwell for almost a fortnight. The source disclosed that the actor incurred injuries while dancing at a family wedding in Udaipur.

‘He has been under the weather for the past two weeks, and that was visible on his face in the picture,’ the source said.

Talking about his health in detail, the source adds, ‘He went to a family wedding with his family including, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, recently in Udaipur. That’s where he got injured, and his health took a toll. He hurt his back and leg while dancing. And his health also suffered because of exertion and old age’.

‘He was exhausted because of the exertion, and it got bad because of his injury. However, he is doing fine now, and is on the road to recovery. In fact, he is taking it slow now, and focusing on his health completely,’ adds the source.
