Veteran Bollywood actress Poonam Dhillon has been admitted to a hospital for dengue fever and is now reported to be on the mend, according to a statement to the media.
Veteran actress Poonam Dhillon was admitted to a Mumbai hospital after testing positive for dengue fever, sources said. The hospitalization comes as the film industry’s actors' body, CINTAA, is embroiled in a separate controversy, but Dhillon’s health issue is being treated independently.
Medical officials confirmed that Dhillon is receiving standard dengue care, including fluid therapy and monitoring of platelet counts. Her condition has stabilised, and she is reported to be recovering well, according to a spokesperson for the actress.
The actress, known for her work in films such as "Sanam Bewafa" and television serials, has not commented publicly on the matter. Fans and colleagues have expressed concern and wished her a swift recovery on social media platforms.
Health experts have warned that dengue cases are rising across India during the monsoon season, urging the public to take preventive measures. Dhillon’s case underscores the vulnerability of even high‑profile individuals to the disease.
Further updates on Dhillon’s health will be provided as her treatment progresses.
