As photographers tried to capture him, Sunny suddenly turned around, folded his hands, and expressed his frustration. In a stern but controlled voice, he told the media, “You have a family, parents, and kids at home, and you are clicking videos like c******”. Aren’t you ashamed?”

The outburst came amid widespread anger over false reports claiming that veteran actor Dharmendra had passed away. A few news outlets mistakenly published that the legendary actor was no more creating chaos and confusion on social media.
Messages of condolence started pouring in from across the film industry and political circles before the family clarified that Dharmendra was alive and recovering.
On Tuesday, Hema Malini, Dharmendra’s wife and a veteran actress herself, took to social media to condemn the spread of misinformation. She wrote, “What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about someone who is still recovering? This is extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please respect the family’s privacy.”

Dharmendra’s daughter, Esha Deol, also reassured fans that her father was stable and on the path to recovery. She wrote on Instagram, “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for your prayers for Papa’s speedy recovery.”
