Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha visit Hema Malini after Dharmendra’s discharge, says “Our prayers are with them”

Shatrughan Sinha’s recent visit to Hema Malini’s home came at a delicate moment for the family, just days after veteran actor Dharmendra was discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital. The gesture wasn’t a political courtesy or a social formality. It was the kind of quiet, personal support that comes from decades of shared history, deep friendships, and the old-world Bollywood bonds that still mean something to those who lived through that era.

Dharmendra had been admitted to the hospital on October 31 and remained under treatment until November 12. According to Dr Pratit Samdani, who supervised his care at Breach Candy, the actor was discharged early on November 12 and would continue receiving treatment at home. The family later released a statement confirming the same and requested privacy, saying, “Mr Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time. We appreciate everyone’s love, prayers, and good wishes for his continued recovery.”

As fans sent waves of prayers and messages online, Shatrughan Sinha stepped in to check on the family personally. On Monday, he shared two photos on his social media account along with a warm note describing his visit.

He wrote, “Along with my bestest half @PoonamSinha, we went to meet, greet and God bless our very dear family friend, one of the finest human beings, star/actress par excellence, artist of the highest calibre, an able Parliamentarian @dreamgirlhema. Our prayers are with them all, and we inquired about our elder brother’s and the family’s well-being too.”

The images featured Shatrughan Sinha, Poonam Sinha, and Hema Malini, smiling gently for the camera. The post immediately struck a chord with the internet. One user commented, “What a beautiful moment captured – timeless grace and warmth in one frame. Your words ring so true; Hema ji’s elegance is unmatched. Praying for Dharmendra ji’s swift recovery.”

As Dharmendra rests at home and continues treatment under medical supervision, the support from friends like Shatrughan Sinha serves as a reminder of the enduring relationships that shaped the golden years of Hindi cinema. And for fans, the reassurance is simple: the He-Man is home, recovering, and surrounded by love.
