Mumbai, Nov 10: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was spotted at Breach Candy Hospital on Sunday evening, where he visited veteran actor Dharmendra, who has been admitted following reported breathing difficulties.

Salman, who shares a warm bond with the Deol family, was seen seated in his car as it navigated through a crowd of photographers outside the hospital. The actor has often spoken about his admiration for Dharmendra, with whom he shared screen space in the 1998 hit Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, also starring Kajol.

Dharmendra’s long association with the Khan family dates back over five decades — most notably through Sholay (1975), the cult classic penned by Salman’s father Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar.

Earlier in the evening, Sunny Deol and his son were also seen arriving at the hospital, attempting to avoid the media glare. Reports suggested that Dharmendra, 89, was briefly placed on a ventilator due to respiratory issues.

Later, Sunny Deol’s team issued a statement confirming that the veteran actor is “stable and under observation”, urging fans to “pray for his speedy recovery” and respect the family’s privacy.

Dharmendra, who continues to remain active in films, was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024) and is next slated to appear in Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming film Ikkis.

Over his illustrious career, the legendary star has delivered countless blockbusters including Sholay (1975), Phool Aur Patthar (1966), Chupke Chupke (1975), Seeta Aur Geeta (1972), and Dharam Veer (1977). His recent performance in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani (2023) earned him widespread praise from fans and critics alike.
