Bollywood veteran actor Dharmendra, who is 86 years old, is old enough to give sermons on self-care and what old people should and shouldn't do. He was last week hospitalized after he suffered a muscle pull. By his own admission, it was a self-inflicted problem. So, Dharmendra has advised one and all not to be reckless. 

"Friends, don't do anything over. I did it and suffered a big muscle pull at the back. It was difficult. I really had a tough time for a few days," Dharmendra said in a video put out on Instagram. 

During his hospital stay, ANI quoted Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital as saying that Dharmendra had a backache during shooting, after which he was admitted 4 days ago. He was put in the ICU. 

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is working with Dharmendra on 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani'. Headlined by Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi, this 2023 release is going to feature Dharmendra in an interesting role.
