Salim Khan Health Update

Khan was rushed to the facility early Tuesday after complaining of severe lightheadedness at his residence. Following a series of initial tests, doctors identified the presence of a blood clot.

Due to his age and the nature of the diagnosis, the medical team opted to move him to the ICU for continuous monitoring. Specialists are currently assessing the next course of treatment, though sources indicate he is responding well to the preliminary care provided.

Entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani, who first broke details of the medical update, provided specific context regarding the moments leading up to the hospitalisation. According to Lalwani’s report, Khan was feeling "very giddy" before his son, superstar Salman Khan, and other family members acted swiftly to transport him to Lilavati.

Lalwani further noted that while the diagnosis of a blood clot is serious, Khan's "vital parameters remain stable," providing a glimmer of hope to fans and well-wishers. The reporter emphasised that the family has maintained a close vigil at the hospital since the admission.
