The last 48 hours saw significant concern across the film industry and among fans, as three iconic veteran actors—Dharmendra, Prem Chopra, and Govinda—required hospitalization. As of today, November 12, 2025, the overall sentiment is one of relief, with Dharmendra discharged and the other two actors recovering swiftly.
Dharmendra Discharged, Continues Recovery at Home
The health of the legendary Dharmendra was the primary concern after he was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital earlier this week.
- Discharge Confirmed: The 89-year-old actor was discharged this morning, with the Breach Candy Hospital team confirming his stable condition. He will continue his recovery under a home-treatment plan decided by his family.
- False Rumors: The episode was overshadowed by the rapid spread of false rumors regarding his critical condition, forcing his family to issue strong public statements condemning the misinformation and requesting privacy.
- Industry Support: Despite the rumors, many industry colleagues, including Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, visited the hospital to check on the veteran star.
Prem Chopra and Govinda Stable
The anxiety was compounded by reports regarding two other veteran actors who received medical care simultaneously:
- Prem Chopra: The 92-year-old actor was admitted to Lilavati Hospital for a viral infection and age-related check-ups. His family confirmed he is stable and expected to be discharged within the next few days. News reports highlighted his concern for Dharmendra’s health, even while undergoing his own treatment.
- Govinda: Actor Govinda was also briefly hospitalized at CritiCare Hospital after collapsing due to fatigue and overwork late on Tuesday. He was quickly discharged after receiving treatment and a clean bill of health, later advising fans in a public statement to take better care of themselves.
The simultaneous health scares across the senior guard of the film fraternity have temporarily halted major industry events and underscored the deep affection the public holds for these cinematic legends.
