He stated that Khan is stable and has been moved to the ICU, with hopes to remove him from the ventilator by the next day.

Salim Khan’s work front

Salim Khan, one half of the legendary Salim-Javed duo, is recognized as a pioneer who revolutionized the landscape of mainstream Hindi cinema in the 1970s. During an era when writers seldom received recognition or influence, he played a crucial role in positioning screenwriting at the core of filmmaking. Together with Javed Akhtar, he created some of the most memorable Hindi films, including Zanjeer, Deewaar, Sholay, Don, Trishul, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, and Seeta Aur Geeta. These films combined compelling narratives, witty dialogue, and well-developed character arcs, establishing new standards for both commercial success and artistic achievement.
