Exclusive: Hospital Employee Arrested for Secretly Filming Dharmendra and Deol Family Inside Breach Candy ICU

The last week has been emotionally overwhelming for veteran actor Dharmendra’s family, as the 89-year-old star was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai following a sudden decline in his health. Soon after, social media was flooded with false reports claiming the actor had passed away, creating widespread confusion and panic.

It was only after his wife Hema Malini and daughter Esha Deol issued official statements on the morning of November 11 that the truth was established: Dharmendra was alive, stable, and under close medical care. The actor was discharged the next day, on November 12, at around 7:30 am.

However, even as the family battled distressing rumours, a disturbing incident unfolded inside the hospital.

ICU Video Leaked; Hospital Employee Arrested

A video secretly filmed inside the ICU, where Dharmendra lay on a hospital bed surrounded by his family, went viral online. The clip shows the ailing actor appearing unconscious, while his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol stand beside him in a visibly emotional state. Sunny’s sons, Karan Deol and Rajveer Deol, are also seen in the footage, along with Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur, who is seated near him.

HT City has exclusively confirmed that the hospital employee responsible for recording and circulating this private and deeply sensitive moment has been arrested. The individual reportedly filmed the video without permission and shared it on social media, violating both hospital protocol and the family’s privacy. Details of the legal action are expected to be released shortly.

Family Issues a Statement Urging Respect and Privacy

After Dharmendra’s discharge, the family released an official note requesting restraint and privacy during his recovery. The statement read:

“Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time. We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”

Privacy Breach Sparks Outrage

The leaked ICU footage has sparked widespread discussion about the ethical responsibilities of hospital staff and the need to protect patient confidentiality. Fans and industry colleagues have expressed anger and disappointment over the breach, calling for stricter measures to safeguard patient privacy.

Dharmendra, a respected icon of Indian cinema, continues to receive heartfelt wishes for his complete and smooth recovery.
