In a moving demonstration of respect and solidarity within Bollywood, ‘King Khan’ Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by his son Aryan Khan, paid a late-night visit to legendary actor Dharmendra, who is currently hospitalized. Dharmendra’s critical health condition has left the entire film industry concerned and hoping for his swift recovery.
According to Indian media reports, Dharmendra is the esteemed actor who reigned over the hearts of cine-goers with his powerful performances, spanning from the black-and-white era of Bollywood into the beginning of the colour film age. News of his illness has saddened his peers and global fanbase.
Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan made their discreet visit to the hospital around midnight, suggesting a deliberate attempt to avoid media attention and focus purely on checking in on the veteran actor. The actor provided little opportunity for the photographers present outside the hospital to take pictures, underscoring the private nature and seriousness of their visit.
This meeting is widely seen as an emotional gesture of support from the film fraternity towards Dharmendra’s recovery. It not only highlights the deep respect that bridges two generations of actors but also affirms the strong tradition of care and community that exists within the Bollywood industry during times of crisis.
