Aamir Khan, who has now visited for the second time, addressed the media at a recent event and said, "Main Salim Sahab se milne gaya tha. Hum sab dua kar rahe hain ki woh jaldi se theek ho jaayen."

He further added, "Jo mujhe Alvira ji bata rahi hai, har roz unki health improve ho rahi hai. Hum sab prarthna kar rahe hain ki woh jaldi ghar aa jaayen aur unki health bhi wapas aa jaaye."

Earlier, he had also shared, "Main Salim saab se personally nahi mil paya. Main family se mila hu unke. Hum sab dua kar rahe hai wo jaldi theek ho jaye aur ghar aaye. Hum dua kar rahe hai unki health ke liye."

What The Medical Bulletin Revealed

According to the hospital’s official bulletin, Salim Khan was brought to the emergency department at 8:30 AM on February 17 by his family physician, Dr. Sandeep Chopra. After initial examination and treatment, doctors shifted him to the ICU on the first floor for closer monitoring.

A specialised team, including neurologist Dr. Vinay Chauhan, cardiologist Dr. Ajit Menon, neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange, nephrologist Dr. Kirti Upadhyaya and Dr. Bineet Ahluwalia, evaluated his condition before deciding on a consensual treatment plan. The bulletin stated that he was intubated to ensure carefully managed care and further investigations.

On February 18, a DSA procedure was performed by Dr. Nitin Dange. The hospital confirmed that the procedure was successful and uneventful, with no surgery involved. Doctors also clarified that his condition was never “as critical” as widely reported. A team of neurologists and cardiologists continues to monitor his recovery.

A Legacy That Shaped Hindi Cinema

Beyond the current health concerns, Salim Khan remains one of Hindi cinema’s most influential writers. As one half of the iconic duo Salim-Javed with Javed Akhtar, he helped redefine storytelling in the 1970s with landmark films such as Sholay, Deewar, Trishul, Don and Kaala Patthar.

Their creative journey and cultural impact were revisited in the 2024 documentary series Angry Young Men on Amazon Prime Video, offering audiences a glimpse into a partnership that transformed Bollywood forever.

As fans continue to pray for his speedy recovery, the industry stands united, hoping the legendary writer returns home soon, stronger and healthier.
