Salim Khan Health Update

On February 18, a day after Salim Khan’s admission, Lilavati issued a statement. “It is true that Mr Salim Khan, father of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and an icon in his own right, has been admitted to Lilavati Hospital under the care of Dr Jalil Parkar. He was brought to the emergency department early this morning at 8:30 am by the family doctor, Dr Sandeep Chopra,” the statement read.

Soon after, emergency treatment was initiated, and he was later shifted to the ICU.

“A team of doctors, Dr Vinay Chavan (Neurologist), Dr Ajit Menon (Cardiologist), Dr Nitin Dange (Neurosurgeon) and Dr Bineet Ahluwalia, attended to him,” it further said, noting that his condition is stable but he remains under close observation of the doctors.

Lilavati Barred From Issuing Further Statements

Following the initial statement, Lilavati Hospital has refrained from issuing further updates after Salman Khan and his family expressed their displeasure, maintaining that health matters are strictly private.

A source close to the family told Variety India, “Health is a private matter. Ideally, no updates should be shared with the media, and any communication should be left entirely to the family, if and when they choose to address fans and well-wishers. Salman and his family were displeased with the doctor’s public statement and clearly conveyed to the authorities that they do not want any further details disclosed.”

The source further added, “It is understandable that there is immense public interest in Salim Saab’s well-being, but medical information is confidential. The family wishes to avoid unnecessary speculation or media scrutiny surrounding Salim Khan’s condition.”
