A source close to the family told HT City that the actor had recently undergone cataract surgery. "He's 89, so age-related issues are natural. The paparazzi happened to be present when he stepped out today, and he spoke to them," HT City quoted the source as saying.

On the professional front, Dharmendra was last seen in ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ (2024) alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Up next, he will be seen in Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Ikkis’, which stars Agastya Nanda.
