Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan to be DISCHARGED today after almost a month of hospitalisation

Salman Khan’s father and renowned screenwriter Salim Khan, is scheduled to be discharged from Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday morning. The 90-year-old has been hospitalized for a month since February because of age-related issues. According to hospital sources, Salim Khan has recovered sufficiently and will be discharged on Tuesday.

What exactly happened to Salim Khan

Salim Khan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra West on February 17 and was admitted under senior consultant Dr. Jaleel Parkar. Hospital sources say that he had age-related complications and had undergone a procedure called DSA by neurosurgeon Nitin Dange. DSA, or Digital Subtraction Angiography, is a diagnostic procedure to identify cerebrovascular diseases such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), fistulas (AVFs), and acute blood vessel blockages (strokes).

Dr. Jalil Parkar had previously disclosed that Salim had experienced a minor hemorrhage “There was minimal brain haemorrhage. A small procedure was done this morning, and it was accomplished. He is fine and stable, but is still on a ventilator. By tomorrow, hopefully, we will take him off the ventilator. All in all, he’s doing quite well. Keeping his age in mind, the recovery time is longer, he said.

During his hospital stay, Salim Khan received regular visits from family members, including his actor sons Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan. Salman's industry friends Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan also visited, and Salim's longtime friend and former screenwriting partner, Javed Akhtar, was also among the visitors.

Arbaaz shared Salim’s update last week

Arbaaz Khan mentioned last week that Salim would be returning home soon. Speaking to paparazzi outside an iftar party in the city, he said, "He is better now, he's improving now. Dad is better."

Salim Khan’s work front

Following their separation, Salim continued to write successful films, including Angaaray, Naam, and Kabzaa.
