Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra was discharged from Breach Candy hospital on Wednesday morning after the family decided to continue with the treatment at home.
Police barricades have been set up outside Dharmendra's Juhu home to control the crowds and media. The paparazzi has stationed outside Dharmendra's house to capture a glimpse of the veteran actor or get any news.
Seeing so many cameras and videographers outside his home, Dharmendra’s son and actor Sunny Deol lashed out at the media.
A video is going viral on social media, which shows Sunny getting angry over the constant intrusion into their private life.
He said, “Aap ke ghar mein maa-baap hai, bachche hai. C******n ki tarah video liye ja rahe ho. Sharam nahi aati? (You have a family, parents, and kids at home, and you are clicking videos like c******". Aren't you ashamed?)”
The actor then gave an angry expression to the media personnel outside his residence and left the spot.
Sunny Deol’s anger came after the media’s extensive coverage of Dharmendra’s hospitalisation.
The family of the veteran actor have strongly criticised the way that some media outlets have covered Dharmendra's health.
While the veteran actor was still receiving treatment and responding to it, there were reports that the actor has passed away.
Several industry professionals, including screenwriter Javed Akhtar and prominent politicians, expressed their condolences to the actor while he was still living

The statement reads, "Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home.
