Dharmendra, the acclaimed actor also referred to as the deserving He-Man of Bollywood, has left fans and colleagues concerned. After multiple reports of an unusual boost in security surrounding the Juhu residence of the 88-year-old icon, being one of the most fondly remembered legends of Indian cinema, several fans and insiders speculated on the reason behind the heightened measures in guards and access.
Unusual Increase in Security Measures Generates Speculation
As recently as the past week, neighbours around Dharmendra’s Juhu bungalow reported heightened security measures. There were additional personnel placed, entry points were blocked off, and even returning visitors were reportedly being screened with undue care.
Heightened security measures around a celebrity’s home usually mean one of the three things:
* A precaution for an alleged health risk,
* A threat to his security,
* Preparations for a private family event.
As there has been no public notice for an announced event, curiosity will only continue to spur upward.
Is Dharmendra Sick? All We Have At The Moment
In the past, the veteran actor has been candid about health issues, including his age and a hospital visit. Currently, we have learned from his associates that he had a minor incident, and thus, to keep a calm environment around the actor, his family has limited access for the time being.
While there has not been an official announcement, those close to the Deol family are adamant that nothing major is happening, but due to his age and recent ailments, “we are just being cautious,” as one person put it.
Family Concerned About The Actor’s Well-Being: Why the Shielding
The Deol family, mainly sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, are always extremely protective of their father, Dharmendra. Given the recent back-to-back adult success with increased media attention, the family wants to keep any spike in expectation at bay. In addition, as insiders have suggested, there may be additional haranguing of saved-at-the-house visitors after a health rumour spreads online, causing the family to reacquire an extra step of caution.
Concerned Fans Await Update
Fans of Dharmendra went to social media wanting a status report. Many were reminded of his touching posts and his upbeat demeanour online. The fans remained hopeful that the additional public safety measures were a precaution and not an indication that something ‘serious’ was going on, but they were waiting for an update from the family.
The film icon is currently at home taking it easy and with family while the new arrangements are “in place” for safety and privacy.
