Mumbai, February 18 – Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, part of the renowned Salim-Javed duo, has suffered a minor brain hemorrhage, according to Dr. Jaleel Parkar, who is overseeing his care.
Dr. Parkar stated that the minor brain hemorrhage does not require surgery. Earlier, there were discussions about his discharge, but a decision will be made once he feels better.
A Digital Subtraction Angiography was performed on Salim Khan. He is currently on a ventilator and has been admitted to the ICU. Yesterday, he was admitted by his family doctor, Dr. Chopra. His blood pressure was also high, so medical professionals put him on a ventilator for backup. Now, he is recovering, but the recovery is slow due to his age.

He said, "Yes, it is true that Salim Khan (father of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan) and a renowned figure in himself was admitted to Lilavati Hospital under Dr. Jaleel Parkar in the ICU early morning at 8:30 am.
