Salman khan passes the medical test

The actor was given a clean chit by the doctors in US, will not need another surgery after all

Salman fans can breathe easy. The actor, who is in the US for a crucial health check-up, has been given an all-clear by the doctors. It seems he will not have to undergo another surgery for his condition after all. He had had a surgery two years ago.

It was in June 2011 that Sallu was detected with neuralgia. Since then he has been on heavy medication to manage the debilitating pain. But owing to his packed schedule, Sallu could never devote the kind of time his condition required.

This check-up too was due much earlier, but Salman could not free himself of his various commitments until now. He shot a small schedule in Dubai for Mental, which was slated to release on Eid this year. But the film's delayed start gave Salman some room to focus on his health once and for all.

Salman and his trusted lieutenant Shera flew down to the US amidst apprehensions that he may be asked to undergo a surgery again.

According to sources close to the star, he had rented an apartment in Los Angeles, even though he was required to be present in the hospital for several hours for four days. Doctors conducted various tests and finally declared that his condition had not worsened in any manner. Said the source, "Had his condition deteriorated, he would have definitely needed a surgery. His family heaved a sigh of relief."

When contacted, Salman's father, Salim Khan said, "Salman is fit and fine now. One more check-up will be required, either after six months or a year. After that, he may not need any more treatment at all. This is simply because his ailment has not aggravated."

According to Salim, Salman returns to Mumbai on Sunday or Monday.
