Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan discharged from hospital month after brain haemorrhage procedure

Salim Khan, father of Salman Khan and veteran screenwriter, who was admitted to a Mumbai hospital last month after suffering a brain haemorrhage, was discharged on Tuesday and taken home days before Eid al-Fitr.

Eid will be celebrated either on March 19 or March 20, 2026, depending on moon sightings.

“He has been treated successfully. He was discharged from the hospital a while ago,” a source told PTI on Tuesday.

However, no videos of Salim Khan, Salman Khan, or even the ambulance have been shared by any paparazzi page.

If you are an avid social media user, for days and weeks, paps have been stationed outside Lilavati Hospital, and from Arbaaz Khan to Sshura Khan, Salman Khan and other celebs have been visiting Salim Khan.

His long-time partner, Javed Akhtar, had also visited him. Many other celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, his girlfriend Gauri Spratt, Sachin Tendulkar’s wife Anjali Tendulkar, and Sanjay Dutt, also visited Salim in the hospital.

The 90-year-old was admitted to the ICU of Lilavati Hospital in Bandra on February 17.

A day after his admission, doctors at the hospital said Salim suffered a brain haemorrhage that had been tackled, and he was put on ventilator support as a safeguard. The doctors said they had performed a procedure to tackle the haemorrhage, but given Salim’s age, his recovery would take time.

As per reports, on Tuesday morning, Salim Khan’s son-actor, Salman Khan, arrived at the hospital. His other children, including son Arbaaz Khan, daughters Alvira Khan Agnihotri and Arpita Khan Sharma, and sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, had visited him regularly in the hospital. Salma Khan and Helen were also spotted at the hospital.

Recently, Salim’s son, Arbaaz Khan, shared an update about his father’s health when reporters spoke with him while he was leaving an Iftar party in Mumbai. “He is better now, he’s improving now. Dad is better,” Arbaaz had said when asked about his father’s health. On a question about his discharge from the hospital, he had said, “Soon. Inshallah.”

About Salim Khan, his career

Hailing from an affluent family in Indore, Salim arrived in Mumbai in his 20s with dreams of stardom. He was good-looking and confident that he would make a mark in the industry as an actor, but that did not happen. After struggling for close to a decade and getting confined to small roles in films, he changed lanes.

He worked as an assistant to Abrar Alvi and soon met Javed Akhtar to form one of Hindi cinema’s most formidable writing partnerships. They worked together on two dozen movies, with most of them achieving blockbuster status. Their films include Sholay, Deewar, Don, Trishul, Zanjeer, Seeta Aur Geeta, Haathi Mere Saathi, Yaadon Ki Baaraat and Mr India.
