The Indian film industry and fans of the Khan family are on edge following the hospitalization of veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. The 90-year-old icon, known for co-creating some of Bollywood’s most legendary films, was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra early Tuesday morning after reporting feelings of severe giddiness.
Sudden Hospitalization
According to hospital sources and official statements from the medical team, Mr. Khan was brought into the emergency department at approximately 8:30 AM by the family’s physician, Dr. Sandeep Chopra. After initial emergency care was administered, he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the first floor for specialized monitoring.
Reports suggest that the veteran writer may have been diagnosed with a blood clot, though the hospital has not released a detailed diagnostic report. A multidisciplinary team—including a neurologist, cardiologist, and neurosurgeon—is currently overseeing his care to ensure all vital parameters are monitored around the clock.
Family Rallies at Lilavati
The news sparked immediate concern as members of the Khan family were spotted arriving at the hospital throughout the day. Superstar Salman Khan was seen entering the premises under heavy security, looking visibly concerned and keeping a low profile. He was joined by his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail, as well as sisters Alvira Khan Agnihotri and Arpita Khan Sharma.
The family has requested privacy during this time, with sources close to them stating they are focusing entirely on Mr. Khan’s recovery. No official public statement has been issued by the family representatives yet, as they await further clarity from the medical team.
Current Status and Next Steps
Dr. Jalil Parkar, who is leading the team treating the veteran, issued a brief statement to reassure the public “Mr. Salim Khan is stable but remains under close observation in the ICU. We are monitoring his clinical status closely.”
The hospital has scheduled a formal press bulletin for Wednesday morning at 11:00 AM to provide a more comprehensive update on his recovery progress.
