He dismissed the rumours and gave an update about his father’s health.

Talking to his Instagram Stories, Dhruv wrote, “Dear fans and well-wishers, Appa (father) had a mild chest discomfort and is being treated for the same. He did not have a heart attack as reports falsely claim. We are pained to hear rumours to this effect.”

Sharing an update on his father’s health, Dhruv added, “That being said, we request you to give our family the privacy we need at this time. Our chiyaan is fine now. He is likely to be discharged from the hospital in a day. We hope this statement provides clarity and trust that the false rumours will be put to rest.”
