Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has made some surprising and candid revelations about his ongoing health struggles during his appearance on Netflix's 'The Great Indian Kapil Show.' The 59-year-old actor disclosed that he is battling multiple serious conditions, including a brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and trigeminal neuralgia.
Khan opened up about his health after the show's host, Kapil Sharma, inquired about his thoughts on marriage. This prompted the actor to reflect on his life, health, and the potential challenges of starting over at his age. He humorously addressed his reluctance towards marriage, citing financial concerns and the physical constraints he faces. Salman stated that facing a divorce and the financial repercussions of it would be especially tough for someone at his age, especially if his partner were to receive half of his assets.
In a moment that shifted the show's tone to a more serious note, Salman revealed the extent of his health issues. He shared, "I'm out here breaking my bones every day - ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there's an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There's also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on.” Despite these challenges, the actor emphasized his commitment to his work and his determination not to let his health dictate his actions. He asserted, "I'm working in spite of everything," reassuring his fans that he has no intention of slowing down.
Salman's disclosure included details about the specific conditions he is managing. A brain aneurysm, as he revealed, involves a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel within the brain. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke or even death. He also mentioned an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a rare and abnormal tangle of blood vessels that disrupts normal blood flow and can lead to serious neurological issues. Additionally, he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic nerve condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain due to irritation of the trigeminal nerve. He first spoke publicly about trigeminal neuralgia in 2017, describing the pain as severe and debilitating.
Despite the severity of his conditions and past injuries, including fractured ribs, Salman appeared energetic and in good spirits on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show.' This appearance contrasts with previous public sightings where he seemed fatigued, sparking concerns among fans about his well-being. However, during his recent appearance, he looked healthier, addressing his health head-on.
Salman Khan's candid discussion about his health on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' has provided insight into the challenges he faces while maintaining his demanding career. His openness about these issues has been met with support from fans, who admire his resilience and dedication to his work.
