Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan was hospitalized at Lilavati Hospital early on Tuesday after being brought in by his family doctor. On Wednesday afternoon, the attending physician provided updates to the media, confirming that a Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) procedure was successfully carried out that day by a neurosurgeon.
Upon his arrival, Salim was first treated in the emergency ward. During the initial assessment, doctors administered medication and concluded that he needed close monitoring in intensive care, leading to his transfer to the ICU.
The medical team observed that he had high blood pressure, which was addressed immediately. As a precautionary measure, they placed him on a ventilator while conducting further tests. The doctor reassured everyone that the ventilator support was a preventive step and did not suggest that Salim was in a critical situation.
“The investigations were necessary, and today we performed a minor procedure. It went well, and he is stable, currently housed in the ICU. We expect him to come off the ventilator by tomorrow. He is doing alright considering his age,” the doctor shared.
He further explained in Hindi, “He arrived fully conscious and appeared to be in good health. There was a minor brain hemorrhage, which we have successfully managed. Surgery was not needed.”
Hospital officials confirmed that Salim remains stable in the ICU and is under careful watch.
