Salim Khan was reportedly under the supervision of Dr. Jaleel Parkar, and he underwent a diagnostic procedure known as Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange. "There was minimal brain haemorrhage. A small procedure was done this morning, and it was accomplished," Dr. Parkar had said earlier. "He is fine and stable, but is still on a ventilator. By tomorrow, hopefully, we will take him off the ventilator. All in all, he’s doing quite well. Keeping his age in mind, the recovery time is longer."

During his hospitalisation, several family members and celebrities visited the veteran writer including sons Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan. Friends from the industry, such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Javed Akhtar, also paid a visit.
