Salim Khan's health update

Earlier, Dr. Jalil Parkar had confirmed that Salim Khan's health was stable. "He was having jerks and his blood pressure was high. We treated him. We had to put him on a ventilator so that his condition would not worsen. It wasn’t because he was critical. We did the required investigations and a small procedure, details of which I will not disclose," he said while speaking to the press. "He is fine and stable. He has been shifted to the ICU and is doing quite well. Age is a factor, so the recovery process will take time."

While fans are following the updates, a report claims that the family prefers privacy and was displeased with medical information being shared publicly. "Health is a private matter. Ideally, no updates should be shared with the media, and any communication should be left entirely to the family, if and when they choose to address fans and well-wishers," a source told Variety India. "Salman and his family were displeased with the doctor’s public statement and have clearly conveyed to the authorities that they do not want any further details disclosed."
