Bollywood legend Dharmendra’s recent health scare has gotten his ardent fan base worried. While the veteran actor is now recovering at home, the Deol family is also facing relentless attention from paparazzi and fans.

Filmmaker Karan Johar stepped in after Sunny Deol’s angry outburst at photographers, criticising the chaos surrounding Dharmendra during his recovery. He described the media frenzy as a “circus” and urged everyone to show compassion and respect.
On Thursday, the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ director shared a heartfelt note on his Instagram Stories, pointing out that the Deol family was already coping with immense emotional stress. “When basic courtesy and sensitivity leaves our hearts and our actions we know we are a doomed race,” he wrote.He further added, “PLEASE leave a family alone!!!! They are already emotionally combatting 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.”
Sunny Deol also slams photographers outside family home
Before Karan’s post, Sunny had confronted the paparazzi waiting outside his home. The actor said, “Aap logon ko sharam aayni chaiyeh… Aapke ghar mein maa-baap hain, bacche hain..video liye jaa rahe ho.. Sharam nahi aati (You guys should be ashamed of yourself. You guys also have parents, have kids… Still are making videos like idiots… You should be ashamed of yourself),” Sunny said, with folded hands.See More: ‘Sharam nai aati’: Sunny Deol loses his cool at the paparazzi for gathering outside Dharmendra’s house after the actor gets discharged from the hospital
