Here is the full breakdown of his current health status and the timeline of his recovery.
The "Out of Danger" Verdict
Multiple close sources have confirmed that the worst is behind the legendary writer.
Daisy Shah’s Update: Salman Khan’s Race 3 co-star, who has been in constant touch with the family, shared a heartening update: "Salim Sir is fine now. He is stable. The surgery went well, it was a success, and he is under observation. But he is out of danger."
Aamir Khan’s Reassurance: During a recent media interaction, Aamir Khan shared that while he couldn't meet the patriarch personally in the ICU, Salim’s daughter, Alvira Agnihotri, has been giving him daily updates. "Every day his health is improving. We are all praying that he returns home soon and his health is fully restored," Aamir noted.
The Medical Procedure (DSA)
While initial reports were conflicting about a "major surgery," the hospital and treating physicians have clarified the nature of the treatment.
Minor Brain Hemorrhage: Salim Khan was rushed to the hospital after suffering a minimal brain hemorrhage caused by a sudden spike in blood pressure.
The DSA Procedure: Instead of invasive open-brain surgery, doctors performed a Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)—a specialized procedure used to visualize and treat blood vessels.
Dr. Jalil Parkar’s Statement: The treating physician confirmed the procedure was "accomplished successfully." He clarified that while Salim was briefly on a ventilator as a safeguard, he was weaned off it as soon as his vitals stabilized.
Recovery and Observation
At 90, the recovery process is naturally slower, which is why he remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Hemodynamically Stable: Doctors report that his heart rate and blood pressure are now well-regulated.
Steady Improvement: He is conscious and responding well to medications. The focus has now shifted to monitoring for any potential post-procedure complications and ensuring he gets adequate rest.
The Industry Rallies Around the Khans
The hospital has seen a steady stream of high-profile visitors showing support for Salman and the family:
Javed Akhtar: Salim's long-time creative partner visited early on, highlighting a bond that has lasted decades.
Shah Rukh Khan & Ranveer Singh: Both superstars made low-profile visits to check on the senior Khan's health.
The Family Presence: Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, Alvira, and Arpita have been alternating shifts at the hospital to ensure their father is never alone.
