Mumbai: Salim Khan, the legendary screenwriter of the Salim-Javed duo, has suffered a minor brain hemorrhage. According to Dr. Jaleel Parkar, who is overseeing his treatment, the condition is stable and under close medical supervision.
The doctor shared that a minimal brain hemorrhage does not require surgery. Earlier, there were discussions around his discharge, but now a decision will be taken once he feels better.
A Digital Subtraction Angiography was performed on Salim Khan. He is currently on a ventilator and has been kept in the ICU. Yesterday, he was admitted by his family doctor Chopra. His blood pressure was also high, so the medical professionals put him on a ventilator as a backup for safety. Now he is doing better; recovery is slow due to old age.
Earlier, Dr Jalil Parkar had given an update on the veteran screenwriter’s health on Tuesday. He said, “Yes, it’s true that Salim Khan (father of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan) & an icon in himself, has been admitted to Lilavati Hospital under Dr Jalil Parkar in the ICU early morning at 8:30 am. He was brought into the emergency room by their family doctor, Sandeep Chopra.
