Mumbai – Legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra was released from Breach Candy Hospital on Wednesday morning, with his family opting for home-based care as he continues his recovery.
The 89-year-old screen icon, who has faced multiple hospital visits in recent weeks, left the facility around 7:30 a.m., according to his treating physician. An ambulance transported him to the Juhu residence of his elder son, actor Sunny Deol.
