Relief sweeps Bollywood as doctors confirm no surgery needed for Salim Khan following a minor brain hemorrhage. The legendary writer, known for iconic films with son Salman Khan, is recuperating at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.
Admitted Saturday amid high blood pressure concerns, initial tests revealed the minimal bleed. Dr. Jalil Parkar, leading the medical team, detailed the DSA procedure used to map cerebral arteries without surgical intervention.
Despite ventilator use and ICU stay, Salim’s vitals are stabilizing. Age-related slower recovery is expected, but progress is evident. The doctor anticipates weaning him off support shortly.
Family rallied instantly: Salman, Arbaaz, daughters Arpita and Alvira, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, both wives Salma and Helen, plus Javed Akhtar and others filled the hospital corridors with concern and solidarity.
This health scare underscores the fragility of even stalwarts like Salim Khan, whose contributions to Hindi cinema are unmatched. The medical team vows round-the-clock vigilance until full stability.
