Rumors had fueled anxiety across political circles, but quick updates from insiders quelled fears. Rohit Pawar, NCP legislator and relative, shared on X that countless calls poured in from concerned workers. ‘Pawar Saheb’s health is excellent; he’s discharged and relaxing at home,’ he assured, adding they discussed pending tasks recently.

Jitendra Awhad, another NCP (SP) heavyweight, reinforced the positive news via social media. ‘Sharadchandra Pawar Saheb is stable, now resting at home after discharge,’ he wrote, calling for prayers to hasten his full recovery and re-entry into Maharashtra’s dynamic political arena.

Pawar himself had voiced disappointment earlier, speaking to Baramati folks from the hospital. A consistent voter there since 1967, he planned to cast his ballot personally but was grounded by sudden illness. Doctors’ firm no-travel advice prioritized his well-being over electoral duties.

This episode highlights Pawar’s resilience amid a career spanning decades. With elections looming, his rest period is keenly watched, as allies hope for his robust comeback to steer the party’s fortunes in Maharashtra.

Veteran actor Dharmendra was released from the hospital and returned home on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. The situation escalated when Karan Johar shared a heartfelt plea on his Instagram story, highlighting the emotional toll such intense media attention can have on a family. He wrote, “PLEASE leave a family alone!!!! They are already emotionally combatting so much… Its heartbreaking to see a paparazzi and media circus for a living legend who has contributed so massively to our cinema… this is not coverage, it’s DISRESPECT!”

Johar’s appeal comes shortly after Dharmendra’s son, Sunny Deol, was seen confronting paparazzi outside their residence. In a viral video, Deol pleaded with the media, questioning their lack of empathy and asking, “Don’t you have parents at home? Don’t you have any shame?”

Dharmendra, 89, had been under medical supervision at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital and was admitted to the ICU on November 10, 2025. After spending over ten days in the hospital, he was discharged. The Deol family’s official statement requested continued respect for their privacy, stating, “Mr Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time.”
