Sunny Deol Blasts Media Over Dharmendra’s Health Scare Video
Bollywood star Sunny Deol has fiercely condemned the media for circulating a video of his father, veteran actor Dharmendra, during a recent health scare. The Gadar actor took to Instagram, slamming outlets with a sharp “Sharam nahi aati…” (Have you no shame?), accusing them of exploiting the 88-year-old legend’s privacy for TRPs.
What Happened? Dharmendra’s Hospital Visit Sparks Concern
A viral clip showed Dharmendra—icon of Sholay and Chupke Chupke—looking frail while being escorted to a Mumbai hospital. Though the family clarified it was a minor issue, the footage triggered widespread worry among fans and invasive media coverage.
Sunny Deol’s Fiery Social Media Outburst
In a now-deleted post, Sunny wrote:
“Disgusting how media exploits my father’s health for clicks. He’s 88—not your TRP tool. Respect his dignity.”
The Border star’s anger resonated across Bollywood, with celebs like Riteish Deshmukh and Hansal Mehta backing him. Fans also slammed the press, with one tweeting: “This is why stars hate paparazzi—zero empathy.”
Bollywood Unites: Calls for Media Accountability
The industry rallied behind the Deols, reigniting debates on ethical reporting:
– Riteish Deshmukh: “Prayers for Dharmendra ji. Media, respect boundaries.”
– Hansal Mehta: “This isn’t journalism—let him recover in peace.”
Journalist Rajeev Masud added: “Broadcasting vulnerable moments crosses ethical lines. Self-regulation is key.”
Dharmendra’s Health Update: Stable & Resting
Sources confirm the actor was discharged after routine checks. “He’s fine now, just resting at home. The family is upset by the unnecessary chaos,” revealed an insider.
Sunny’s History of Protecting Family Privacy
This isn’t the first time Sunny has shielded his parents. In 2022, he called out paparazzi for hounding his mother, Prakash Kaur, during an outing.
Bigger Debate: Celeb Privacy vs. Media Sensationalism
The incident underscores the tension between public curiosity and personal boundaries. While fans desire updates, critics argue health matters should stay private unless the family shares details.
Final Takeaway: Sunny’s “Sharam nahi aati” highlights a pressing need for empathy in journalism — dignity must never be traded for clicks.
