Sanjay Khan’s wife, Bollywood veteran Zarine Khan, died on Nov 7 in Mumbai.
Just days later, the country heard that Dharmendra—another legendary actor—has been taken to the hospital and reportedly placed on a ventilator.
While people mourn, Farah Khan Ali, daughter of the late Zarine, slammed tabloids for the way they covered Dharmendra’s situation.
On her social‑media feed, Farah said, “My mother passed six days ago and some reporters focused more on why she chose cremation than offering condolences. Dharm Uncle is in hospital and footage of his family has gone viral.” She added, “Are we so insensitive that we pry into others’ private lives? Public figures have families with feelings too. Humanity should show respect, especially when tragedy hits anyone. Keep your opinion for your own life, not every other."
Dharmendra, an icon of Indian cinema, is currently in the ICU with breathing difficulties, according to hospital staff. He is under observation, and doctors say he is stable. Despite early rumors of his passing, his daughter Esha Deol clarified the situation on the same day.
Esha posted, “The media is spreading false news. Dad is stable and recovering. Please respect our family’s privacy. Thank you for the prayers for a speedy recovery.”
Dharmendra’s eldest son Sunny Deol, also a famous actor, echoed Esha’s message. He told reporters to keep quiet and avoid adding chaos. “Please be sensitive and respect the family’s right to privacy at this tough time,” Sunny said.
The Deol family’s statements aim to calm the frenzy. Fans and media alike must remember that even beloved stars grow up with families who need privacy.
