Earlier this month, Dharmendra underwent cataract surgery, raising some concern among fans. Videos from April 1 showcased him with an eye patch, yet his spirit shone through as he reassured fans in a light-hearted manner, saying, “Abhi bhi bohut damm hai, bohut jaan rakhta hoon…Mere aankh mein graft hua hai.” This resilient attitude is characteristic of Dharmendra, who, despite his age, maintains a robust presence both on-screen and off.
A family source confirmed the cataract surgery, emphasizing that age-related health challenges are natural but Dharmendra continues to manage them with his characteristic positivity. His recent appearances, including a role in “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, demonstrate his enduring passion for acting. Next, he is set to feature in “Ikkis,” directed by Sriram Raghavan.
