Clarifying widespread social media speculation regarding the incident, Kazi’s manager confirmed that the artist did not suffer a heart attack on set. Instead, he felt unwell while at home earlier this month, after which routine clinical evaluations led doctors to advise a minor corrective heart surgery.
"Salman Sir Was Right There with Us"
Upon learning about Kazi’s hospitalization, Salman Khan immediately intervened to ensure the stunt performer received optimal medical attention, managing the logistical and financial arrangements for his procedure and postoperative rehabilitation:
Personal Involvement: Kazi’s management shared that the actor remained closely connected throughout the hospitalization, stating:
"Salman sir treats Parvez sir like a younger brother and helped immediately. He was right there with us, personally ensuring that everything related to the medical care was taken care of. Parvez is doing absolutely fine now, recovering well at home, and will be back on set soon after a few days of rest."
Recovery Status: Following a successful procedure and discharge from the hospital, Kazi is currently recuperating at his residence before resuming active film assignments.

Parvez Kazi has served as Salman Khan's primary on-screen body double across high-octane action franchises and emotional dramas for over a decade:
Key Filmography: Kazi has stood in for lighting setups, complex wide angles, and select stunt sequences across titles such as Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai, Race 3, Bharat, Dabangg 3, and Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.
