In the latest statement, doctors shared that Salim Khan is on ventilator support as a safeguard and stable and they are treating him.
Doctor Jalil Parkar from the Lilavati Hospital shared with the media, “His blood pressure was high for which we treated him and we had to put him on a ventilator because we wanted to do certain investigations. Now the ventilator was put as a safeguard so that his situation doesn’t get worse. So it is not that he is critical.”
“We did the investigations that were required and today we have done a small procedure on him, I will not go into the details. The procedure done is called DSA (digital subtraction angiography). The procedure has been accomplished, he is fine and stable and shifted back to ICU. By tomorrow, we hope to get him off the ventilator. All in all, he is doing quite well,” he added.
Asked whether he suffered a brain haemorrhage, the doctor said, “Unko thoda haemorrhage hua tha (he had a minor haemorrhage), which we’ve tackled. No surgery is required.”
After his hospitalisation, Salim Khan’s kids Salman Khan, Alvira, Arpita and Arbaaz Khan were seen paying a visit along with other family members like Atul Agnihotri, Ayush Sharma. Salim’s grandchildren Arhaan, Nirvaan and Alizeh Agnihotri, also looked worried as they visited the hospital.

Salman Khan too has previously expressed his discontent and emotional turmoil after Salim married for the second time to Helen. On a rare occasion, Salman Khan spoke about the heartbreak he experienced after his father married veteran actor Helen, despite being married to Salman’s mother and his first wife, Salma Khan. Expressing his anguish, Salman had said in an old interview, “My mom’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I can’t say why; I don’t think explanations are needed. We get along very well because basically, I’m a mama’s boy. I can’t bear to see her unhappy. She was very hurt when my father married again. I’d hate it when she’d wait up for him to come home."
There was also a time when Salim Khan and son Salman Khan did not speak for six months. Salim recalled the incident and said in an old interview, “That has happened, yes. If he does something I don’t like or I feel that he has done something wrong, then I don’t talk to him. Then, if I am sitting near the window, he would nicely walk past the parapet. He would sneak out of the house without meeting me. Later, he would come back saying, ‘Sorry, what I did was not right’. "

He emphasised how he wanted his children to see him as a friend. However, Salim also admitted that he has scolded his children many times, with Salman being on the receiving end the most. “I have scolded all of them, but Salman has had it the worst from me, particularly since he is the eldest among them. One day, he told me that his habits are very similar to mine. I said, ‘Son, it may be a compliment for you, but not for me. Please understand that I don’t wish to inherit any of your habits’,” he shared during the interaction.

Salim Khan, who a household name in the 70s and 80S, turned 90 on November 24, 2025. It also marked a day when Dharmendra, the star of many of his films, including Sholay, Seeta aur Geeta and Yaadon Ki Baraat, passed away.

Salim Khan began his journey behind the scenes as an assistant to noted film writer Abrar Alvi.
