Salim Khan hospitalised for ‘minimal’ brain haemorrhage
Salim Khan is widely known for his iconic writing partnership with Javed Akhtar. The duo, popularly called Salim-Javed, wrote some of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated films, including Sholay, Deewar, Zanjeer and Don.
He was admitted to the ICU of Lilavati Hospital in Bandra on February 17. Dr Jalil D Parkar, who is part of the team treating him, had said last week that the screenwriter suffered a ‘minimal’ brain haemorrhage. It has since been treated, and he remains on ventilator support as a precaution, with his condition described as stable. The doctors have not shared further updates, keeping the family’s privacy in mind.
Aamir was speaking on the sidelines of a prize distribution ceremony of a photo competition at the Press Club of Mumbai. Reflecting on his interactions with photographers over the years, he said, “In the beginning, I would get upset that everywhere (we’ve to give) photos but as time passed, I realised that they wait for hours, sometimes they don’t even get to eat something, it hurts me then. Since then, I’ve never said no to photographers for a photo wherever they meet me.”
On the work front, Aamir Khan will be next seen in a cameo appearance in Lahore 1947.
