Salman Khan’s Father Salim Khan on Ventilator Support, Set to Undergo Surgery

Salim Khan, one of the most respected and influential figures in Indian cinema writing, was recently hospitalised with serious health concerns. According to family sources, his condition required ventilator support and he is now scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure to address the underlying issue. The news has drawn concern from fans and colleagues across the Hindi film industry, many of whom have sent messages of support and prayers for his recovery.

Salim Khan’s contributions to Bollywood span decades. As a screenwriter, he has been associated with numerous classic films and has helped shape some of the industry’s most memorable characters and stories. His work, often in collaboration with fellow writers, left a lasting influence on storytelling styles in mainstream Hindi cinema. Now in his later years, he has stepped back from active writing but remains a revered figure in film circles.

According to reports, Khan was admitted to the hospital after experiencing health difficulties that led doctors to determine ventilator support was necessary. Ventilator support is generally used when a patient’s breathing is compromised and they are unable to maintain adequate oxygen levels on their own. This approach stabilises the patient and gives medical teams time to diagnose and prepare for further intervention.
