Recently, the actor took to Instagram to refute reports about his ill health. In a 42-second-long video, Dharmendra said he might have been quiet regarding his well-being but he was “not ill”.

“Friends, be positive, think positive. Life will be positive. I’m silent, but not ill. Rumours keep cropping up,” the actor said in the clip. Citing the lyrics of the song Bura Mat Suno from his 1969 hit film Aya Sawan Jhoom Ke, the actor urged his fans to take care. “Love each other, be good to each other. Life will be beautiful,” he said in the video. He wrote in the caption, “Friends, with Love to you all.”
