Karan Johar and Ameesha Patel condemn paparazzi overdrive outside Deol residence amid Dharmendra’s treatment: “This is not coverage, it’s disrespect”

A video of Sunny Deol losing his cool at photographers stationed outside his house went viral earlier this week, highlighting the growing frustration over the invasion of privacy.

Now, filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Ameesha Patel have voiced their support for the Deol family, urging the media to show sensitivity during this difficult time.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, Karan Johar wrote, “When basic courtesy and sensitivity leaves our hearts and our actions, we know we are a doomed race. PLEASE leave a family alone! They are already emotionally combating so much… it’s 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!”

Ameesha Patel echoed the same sentiment in her Instagram Story, stating, “I strongly believe the media needs to leave the Deol family alone at this time and respect their privacy,” followed by folded hands and blue heart emojis.

For the unversed, the veteran actor was admitted due to breathlessness and requires ongoing monitoring owing to age-related health concerns. Family members—including wife Hema Malini and son Sunny Deol—have confirmed that his condition is stable and assured fans that rumors about critical conditions or ventilator support are false.

Dharmendra’s family has requested privacy and respect during this time and asked people to keep him in their prayers. The actor remains under the care of medical professionals, with his health improving gradually.
